Thanks to the man mplayer I have easily managed to encode the video with the following line (not sure exactly) :

mencoder -tv:on:input=1:norm=PAL -voc .... -o movie.avi

and it works perfectly.

Trying to have the sound, I wrote (following the man page) :

mencoder -tv:on:input=1:norm=PAL:adevice=/dev/dsp -voc .... -o movie.avi

but it didn't work. Since I think it is a topic of interest for many people I know, could anyone tell me what I have done wrong ?

Did you check that the proper input (line-in ?) in your sound card, is set to RECORD as reported by your mixer ? The fact that you hear the sound in the speakers is not enough (it simply means that the sound is passed through in the sound card's preamp), to capture the sound in the PC you must use your mixer to set the input to recording mode.
