Given that you must receive frames to do the conversion, my belief is that we will still be talking both decode and encode delay at the conversion point of the order of 60 - 70 ms, whatever mechanism is used. That is a significant take from the limits specified in ITU Recommendation G.114.

My experience of the existing mass h264 deployments in the mobile space is that they like to split the the audio and
video media paths. (You'd need to do this in any gateway to these legacy systems). 
This means that they can get out of sync. This would be made worse by transcoding the video leg.
Although there is a counter argument that they are already unacceptable, so 70ms won't make any difference.
