I found this command on the Web (some HOWTO someplace) after googling:

    mplayer foo.rm -ao pcm -aofile foo.wav -vc dummy -vo null

Now that I see it, I see how it works.  -ao is audio out driver, -aofile
is obvious, -vc is video codecs -vo is video out driver.  I think I could
guess how you might proceed from there.

Still, I can't cut a CD with the result yet...
