Yes, it's a limitation of the MP3 format. It's because the MP3 format does not define the overall encoder/decoder delay. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3) Some other formats have this problem, but fortunately there's a good selection of formats that don't. For lossless formats, WAV, AIFF and FLAC ...

Yes it's a bug in 2.0.6.

Which version of Audacity?
What format is the video file?
Does the video file have the correct file extension?
Do you have FFmpeg installed? (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_ ... tml#ffdown)
Did you use the "File > Import > Audio" command?
