Unless I've misread some document, the AVI specification itself does not 
support VBR audio, but VBR is workable using some non-standard headers 
for the AVI. Therefore, players could be perfectly conforming to the AVI 
spec and refuse to play VBR audio AVIs.

I was referring to whether MPlayer can write OGM or Matroska containers, 
not whether or not it supported writing VBR audio in an AVI.
