You're on the right track. There are some details in encoding-tips.txt. 
I recommend using Ogg as the container and Vorbis as the audio codec 
because Ogg (or Ogm) can easily accommodate multiple tracks of several 
types and Vorbis has quality superior to MP3. However, you can use LAME 
in place of oggenc if you prefer. I'm not sure of how to multiplex 
multiple audio tracks into an AVI; you may have to keep the extras as 
separate MP3 files, which mplayer can play with -audiofile.
