I think you have an extra step here. Rather than using mencoder -oac
pcm, you can just use mplayer -ao pcm. Thus:

mplayer -aid 2 -ao pcm -aofile intro.wav detect_640_dl.mov
mplayer -aid 1 -ao pcm -aofile main.wav detect_640_dl.mov

cat intro.wav main.wav > audio.wav
oggenc -r -o audio.ogg audio.wav

If the wav headers get in your way, using -nowaveheader with mplayer -ao
pcm might work for you.

I haven't actually tried this with that particular source material, but
I think it'll work and save you some time.
