This is a script I use for batch conversion; works on one or more mp3's.
If this doesn't work, maybe there is a problem with the xmms plugin you
mentioned?
#!/bin/bash
# allmp3wav
for i in *.mp3; do
echo "$i"
tgt=$(echo "$i" | sed -e "s/mp3/wav/")
mpg123 -b 10000 -s -r 44100 "$i" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s
-w -c2 - "$tgt"
done
