Not necessarily. Both of my current DVD players can play a DVD full of MP3 files. One is a Pioneer, and the other is a more 'random' brand DVD/DiVX player. The Pioneer does a better job, but both will "play" data discs of MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG1 amongst other things. Another possibility would be to convert to MP2 audio and make a minimal video stream to go alongside the audio - say, a black screen, and make a DVD Video disk using something like transcode. I don't know what the bare minimum video bitrate is for DVD, but I know you can get a good few hours that way, in a format that would play on any DVD player. I've been meaning to try this for ages.
