Easy, mencoder, which comes in the mplayer package. It has exactly the same syntax as mplayer, just that you won't need the -vc, -vo, and -ao options in mencoder; instead just specify "-o thefile.mp3" and "-oac toolame" (I personally use mp3lame, but seeing that you used toolame yourself :P) The -novideo option is probably useful as well. Just check out the mplayer/mencoder man page, it has everything.
