I'll assume this is bktr(4).

What I've used:

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf \
  -vf scale=720:480 -srate 48000 \
  -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=7000:\
keyint=18:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=4/3 -ofps 30000/1001 \
  -fps 30000/1001 -o movie.mpg \
  -tv driver=bsdbt848:input=0:norm=ntsc:width=720:height=480:fps=30000/1001:\
audioid=0:audiorate=48000:adevice=/dev/sound tv:// -hr-edl-seek -edl bktr.edl

The important part is probably the audiorate=48000:adevice=/dev/sound part
of the -tv options.

Hope that helps.
