I suspect this means that, instead of -vsync x, 
you want to use -async 1 (which is now also 
-af aresample=async iirc).

Generally, please do not post extracts of console but only 
complete, uncut console output (at least the first 50 and 
the last 50 lines).

(Did -vsync in your command line really make a difference? 
Hard to believe...)
