Just to clarify what i meant by waving a dead chicken: I was poking fun at 
XML in particular, because it's often used in context where it's 
completely overkill or even unfit, just because of superstition - usually 
that superstition coming from superiors not fit for making that kind of 
decision; or else the need to comply with customers' superstitions.

OTOH, I agree, that if the audio and video files start at the same point 
in time, and they're not missing frames of any kind, and they have only 
one framerate each (e.g. all 48000 Hz audio and all 25 Hz video), and know 
which two files go together (same folder and same name except suffix), 
then there's no use for a syncfile.
