A snippet from the man-page:

                    adevice=<value>     set an audio device
                                        /dev/... for OSS
                                        hardware ID for ALSA

Using ALSAs OSS emulation and providing /dev/dsp makes no difference.
Both seem ok during initialization but none work.

>From what I've seen of other mencoder outputs, a block like "Opening pcm audio decoder" should appear, as does
the "Opening video decoder" block of text. I don't get one for the audio but for the video.
