I was going to answer this before, was distracted by my 2-year-old, lost 
track and deleted the mail.

Here's a script that I use:

------ CUT HERE ------
#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav
mpg123 -b 10000 -s "$1" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - "$2"
------ CUT HERE ------

Very simple, very effective. Requires only sox and mpg123.
