Many ppl keep ask about encoding mp3 with mplayer and i got a little idea
wich consist of using /dev/zero, the rawvideo demuxer and frameno.
Both the raw video demuxer and the raw audio demuxer (used for cd
reading) needed a few fixs and these are now in CVS.

So now you can do : mencoder -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -rawvideo on:w=16:h=16
 -audiofile cdda://1 /dev/zero
and it will make an "audio only" avi. You can play these with mplayer (you
needed -vc null (and probably -vo null too) otherwise it crash on seek),
or extract (with mplayer) the mp3 with -dumpaudio.

It's also intersting if you want to use the menu with audio only files,
or use a dxr2/3 as soundcard ;)
