7.4 Stream copying
MEncoder can handle input streams in two ways: encode or copy them. 
This section is about copying.
......
Audio stream (option -oac copy): straightforward. It is possible to 
take an external audio file (MP3, Vorbis) and mux it into the output 
stream. Use the -audiofile <filename> option for this.

mencoder itself probably can't encode Vorbis but can use preencoded 
streams. Only MPlayer (and *nix) will be able to play them, since 
much players never expect Vorbis in AVIs, but Mplayer doesn't 
assume. 

Beware: if you use '-oac copy' then console A-V sync output may show 
rapidly increasing offsync, but in fact all plays fine (that was true 
with some prerelease of MPlayer, i don't know if situation changed 
for now)
