An MP3->WAV converter is just an MP3 player that can direct its
output to a file and prepend a trivial WAV header.  madplay and
mpg321 can do this.  mpg123 can also write the decoded audio to
stdout, and you could use a tool such as sox to convert the raw
audio to WAV.

Can you even do this in MP3 format?  Just convert to WAV or raw
audio and use sox on that.
