+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.
