I believe on2 has some patches on the mencoder code to mux into ogg 
containers (they use it in the flix engine) . It hasn't been proposed as 
patch to the official mplayer tree AFAIK, so I haven't seen any 
peer-review of their code, but you could still try it.

It can be found here: http://www.on2.com/gpl/mplayer/
