If you know what you are doing, gst-launch / gst-launch-0.10 is an
incredibly powerful tool.  I use stuff like this to convert the audio
in an flv to an Ogg Vorbis file, for example:

gst-launch filesrc location=somefile.flv ! decodebin name=d d. !
audioconvert ! vorbisenc quality=0.4 ! oggmux ! filesink
location=somefile.ogg d. ! fakesink

You can do something similar for MP3:

gst-launch filesrc location=somefile.flv ! decodebin name=d d. !
audioconvert ! lame ! filesink location=somefile.mp3 d. ! fakesink
