Thanks for the tip! This reduces the audio and video scripts.

mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /home/amd/dvd -aid 128 -ao pcm -aofile audio.wav
oggenc -q 5 audio.ogg

oggenc can handle stdin. Can mplayer in someway handle stdout, so I
wouldn't have to write a huge wave to the diskdisc first?

I have read that /dev/stdout can't be used, as mplayer dumps all sort of
things in there.
