because the muxer can store mp2 and ac3, so you need to re-encode it
(I reccoment -oac toolame).
What command line did you use?
Where's the log?

in theory so:
mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac copy -ovc copy -rawaudio 
format=0x50 -audiofile file.mp2
-audio-demuxer 20 file.m2v -o file.mpg

in practive something seems to go wrong and audio bitrate and timer are 
wrong.

I didn't try it very often and I never investigated deep enough.

Please, report if it works for you
