You should. But the multiplexer is only the beginning of your problems. 
DVDauthor creates .ifo's that contain only references to the first audio 
stream. Additional audio streams are ignored.
Sad as it, you have to resort to windows tools if you want a fully 
functional and compliant DVD.

PS: I believe that vdr should remux/store the recordings in a DVD 
compliant way. However, this is not only not easy, it would also break 
compatibilty with old recordings that contain AC3 streams.
