What I am sorely missing is a video time stretch

I think I read something once about using ardour to do this job. Also, did you
try blender for the whole job?
all the best,
I have used Ardour for this purpose. I used to use mencoder but it does not like Debian,
so instead I am using ffmpeg. I find ffmpeg a lot simpler and more intuitive, and more
flexible.
My steps are generally:
- Record video
- Record audio simultaneously (using jack_capture, Ardour, whatever)
- Separate out the video's audio track (ffmpeg -vn works)
- Pull the video camera's audio track and my JACK-recorded audio track into Ardour
- Sync them up so they match
- Place the start/end markers exactly where the video's start/end points are
- Mute the video's audio track
- Export to WAV
- Merge it with the video track (ffmpeg -map works well) and transcode it
Some examples (from when I used to use Avidemux):
