All *nixes excel at providing little tools that, when used together,
can replace a lot of stand-alone tools on other platforms.

if you have mpg123 and sox (both available as debian packages), you
have everything you need.

this line has worked for me:

mpg123 -b 10000 -s file.mp3 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - file.wav
