That's a pretty impressive command line, but I just found out that it
could be done with just 'amp -w mp3name'. (Amp is also available as a
deb package). However, that doesn't work with the mp3 I wanna do it
with (the file is kind of bad). Anyway, the issue is no longer
relevant (for me). The reason I brought this up is that a user on my
system wants to play an mp3 at X startup, but the MP3 was bad, so I
thought I could convert it to wav and play it w/ 'play'. But amp could 
handle the buggy MP3, so I didn't have to.
