After further testing I found that if I use concat to rejoin the segments
back together in ffmpeg everything is back in-sync.
While this wouldn't be horrible to do every time it relies on stitching the
segments back together in the order they were
written. Basically I need all of the segments for this to work, but the
problem is once I record for over 1 hour and 30
minutes the segments start to be overwritten. Keeping all segments would
defeat the purpose (for me) as eventually
they would fill up my hard drive.

Further-more it seems that the audio gets ahead of the video, could this
have something to do with segment
segmenting on key frames only in video? Perhaps audio can't be segmented
down to a single sample or something?
It almost seems like I need to force key frames or maybe mess with time
stamps but I just don't even know where to
begin.

Perhaps what I am looking to do is impossible.
