[MEncoder-users] Extracting DVD-audio?

I think my biggest problem is finding the right "track number".
Attached to this email is the text output from the -identify command.

I'm trying to find the right "track" for the audio of the "I Love Lucy" radio
show on the DVD.  When I play it in Xine, no "movie" shows (it appears to stay
in the menu system).
It may be stored in 4 parts, as the menu system allows me to select the first
half, the comercials in the middle, and the 2nd half, and then the show closing.

Here are my results when I try "mplayer dvd://#"

1-8 - plays various episodes of I love lucy
9 - gets stuck right after "DVD successfully opened", have it hit Ctl-C, MPlayer
interrupted by signal 2 in module: demux_open

10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18- sections of bonus material, intros, etc

19,20,21 - Black screen, then exits. Tried -vo null, no difference.
Thanks for any help.
