Sadly not. You can hack around this though (oh, you're using windows, well, 
try to find something equivalent) :

mencoder -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -of rawaudio /dev/zero -rawvideo on:pal 
-audio-file bla.ra

I think MEncoder's -of rawaudio is kind of silly. you can get the same 
effect with mplayer's '-dumpaudio'... It would not be silly if MEncoder 
would actually accept audio only input...
