Their is a program called kavi2svcd. It will seperate the audio from the video into any type that you want. Then it will multiplex them back together. I use this program all the time on both my linux boxes.

What do you want to do exactly ?

To convert e.g. a WAV into mp2, you can use either mp2enc (in the mjpeg package, http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/ ) or toolame ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/toolame), which is also able of VBR mp2.

For general WAV to WAV conversion (e.g. from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz), the old sox (should be on every distribution) is making a good job.

To multiplex an MPEG2 Video with WAV (as your Topic name could be interpreted), I currently don't know a way.

For mp3 to mp2, I use a pipe with mpg123 (console mp3 player, can write to WAV and stdout) and toolame, although there are possibilities with less possible quality loss (we had a discusion about this in the vcdimager forum, http://forums.vcdimager.org ).

I also do not know a way to change the audio WITHIN a mpeg system stream, you will have to demultiplex (e.g. with mpgdemux, http://mpgtx.sourceforge.net), transcode the audio and remultiplex.
