You could use GStreamer, with the following command:

gst-launch filesrc location=yoursourcefile.mpeg ! 
ffdemux_mpegts ! 'audio/mpeg' ! filesink location=yourdestfile.mp2

That simply extracts the audio from the transport stream, without converting 
the format at all. The resulting file is MPEG2 audio - anything that can play 
MP3 should be able to play it. If you want to convert it to MP3 or OGG 
(perhaps if file size is an issue) let me know and I'll give you a revised 
command.

GStreamer packages should be available for your distro (in Debian you 
want 'gstreamer0.10-tools' and 'gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg'). Depending on your 
distro the gst-launch command may have a version number postfix, e.g. 
gst-launch-0.10.

If you can't make it work put the files somewhere I can get them and I'll do 
it for you. GStreamer can be a bit of a pain and older versions can have 
serious bugs that prevent things from working as they should.

David.
