I can confirm this is a limitation at the moment.

Sorry, not in the near term. Currently, non-speed-effect frame rate
handling is done within the ffmpeg plugin. I would have to remove that
and rely entirely upon something like the speed effect, which as you
know does not support audio at the moment. So, this is not some simple
bug fix, but a major rework.
