Hmm... this is beginning to sound like a FAQ, so I'm going to write it
just one last time.

MPlayer-only solution:

$ mencoder -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts <your_opts> -o music.avi dvd://N
$ mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile music.mp3 music.avi
$ rm music.avi

OTOH, if you already have lame, why not use it?

$ mkfifo encode
$ mplayer -oac pcm -aofile encode dvd://N &
$ lame <your_opts> encode music.mp3
$ rm encode

The latter allows you to use different audio encoders, too.
