Yes, as you go on to state, there's no reason that mplayer on Maemo
has the same codecs compiled.

Exactly. Which is why I want to find out why tablet-encode is telling
mencoder to copy the existing audio stream rather than re-encoding it
to MP3. Did you specify the -c, --copy-audio option? If so, don't. If
not, there's a bug in tablet-encode.

`mplayer -ac help' should assist here.
