Getting exact lip-sync sound is pretty complicated business. Usually it's done by exactly controlling the speed of the recorder and camera with crystal syncronizers, and this is probably not going to be possible with the GAF. Usually when you think of crystal sync, it's on high end cameras like Beaulieus and Nizos.
You can still achieve a reasonable sync over short [<30 sec] scenes, but this is best done with a slate [clapper], not exactly the best thing for casual filmmaking: ["OK Mom, backyard barbecue scene 4, take two!"]
What you have with non crystal synced stuff is that over the course of a scene the camera and recorder will speed up and slow down, and what may have started exactly synced will pretty quickly drift out. It doesn't take too much to be noticeable either.
What I want to do with adding sounds on a stripe is things like narration, music and ambient sound, in other words wild sound. Obviously it would be even better to have the abilty to do on camera dialog, but just this will take me way beyond what I can now do silent.
