Why would different releases of the same song sometimes be out-of-sync?
It depends on how the "length" is measured. Exactly where does a song "end" that is faded out at the tail (as most popular music seems to be)? Or classical music where the venue ambience is included ...

Is there a tool to synchronize similar audio files running at different speeds, and at different offsets?
Pitch shifting or time stretching are the first "go to" tools but this will depend on what is tolerable in terms of artifacts.

Why would different releases of the same song sometimes be out-of-sync?
Sometimes labels re-record the same song for licencing purposes... it can mean, for example, they don't have to pay the backing musicians royalties - or they re-do something because it turns out a ...

Why am I experiencing unsynchronized audio during recording?

Why is exporting a .wav file as .m4a creating a sync issue in audacity?
This is more a workaround than an answer as I did not manage to link the libavformat library to Audacity. So here are some clues using FFmpeg version 4.1 with libavformat.58.20.100.dylib on macOS.
