I believe , you should use -ao option to audio.
Specify the correct audio out installed for your sound card.
Thanks,

Looking at > decade old mencoder notes it seems I once did

... driver=<other options>:amode=1:audiorate=48000:alsa:adevice=hw.0 ...

I don't know how pulse would mess this up (I still haven't used it).

you would also need to check hw.0 is the correct device for you and IIRC
mess about with alsamixer to unmute/set levels for line in.
