How do I encode only sound from a music video?
</para></question>
<answer><para>
It's not possible directly, but you can try this (note the
<emphasis role="bold">&amp;</emphasis> at the end of
<command>mplayer</command> command):
<screen>
    mkfifo encode
    mplayer -ao pcm -aofile encode dvd://1 &amp;
    lame <replaceable>your_opts</replaceable> encode music.mp3
    rm encode
</screen>
This allows you to use any encoder, not only <application>LAME</application>,
just replace <command>lame</command> with your favorite audio encoder in the
above command.
