Actually, DVDs do need AC3 audio.  It's part of the DVD-Video spec.  A disc
that only has MPEG audio isn't guaranteed to play on all DVD players.

There is an encoder (BeSweet) that runs under Windows to produce stereo and
multichannel AC3, but I don't know if there is an AC3 encoder that works
with Linux.  (Maybe BeSweet runs under WINE...last time I tried it, though,
not much ran under WINE at all.)
