If it's a DVD it's easier to rip it with mencoder.
Otherwise I'd use ffmpeg.

View the movie with mplayer and use the OSD for position ( or run mplayer from 
the command line) to find your start and end positions.

Then rip the audio portion by specifying the start and end positions and no 
video.

You may want to force the final output into an mp3 container otherwise it will 
be an avi file with just audio.
This might be done by processing your audio only .avi with ffmpeg to make it 
an mp3 file.

Check out mencoders man page for -ss -endpos -vo null and look at ffmpeg's 
online documentation since the man pages aren't very helpful.
