This is the default behaviour for ALL ac3 encoders.
BTW, with Aften, you can avoid the insertion of 5 ms of silence with, for instance:

eac3to INPUT stdout.wav | Aften -b 192 -pad 0 -readtoeof 1 - OUTPUT.ac3

2. If going from ts/mkv to ac3, Nero Audio Decoder would be used. This would seem to remove 42ms if the audio begins with silence. So the resulting ac3 would be either -37ms shorter or +5ms longer, depending on the initial content.
Seems you have misunderstand my post. I say:
"The directshow Nero 7 decoder, used by eac3to to decode .aac, cut the first 1024 samples (21,333 ms in 48 KHz) in 2.0"

Then, always cut 21 ms, and (without -pad 0) finish with 16 ms shorter.

The Nero Audio Decoder (NeroAacDec.exe) is not used by eac3to at all.

Is there a way not to use Nero for step 2?
eac3to only can decode aac with the directshow Nero 7 decoder.
