Hi,

-ao pcm never worked....

2 possible workaround:
1. mplayer -dumpaudio ...
you'll get AC3 file, you can pipe it through ac3dec, sox and any mp3 encoder

2. mencoder -ovc frameno ...
you'll get an audio-only AVI file. it sounds nonsense, but you can extract
the pcm/mp3 audio track with mplayer -dumpaudio

> Second problem:
> I have a musical dvd. I found that under Windows all the same songs are 
> played 1 semitone up. The same thing with a divx movie created with mplayer. 
> Under Linux, also aviplay plays it 1 semitone below...
> It's not an mplayer problem, right?
sounds like a soundcard driver problem.
maybe try resampling plugon or -srate options...
and next time include mplayer -v log...
