While that's certainly something to check, there's not necessarily anything
wrong with that. In fact, I've done at least 400 encodings of various types
of source material with -oac copy on the first pass and -oac mp3lame on the
second.

While Guillaume has mentioned that it could be problematic, I have never had
a problem with it in either linux or PC builds of mplayer.
