Try to download the source for ffmpeg , compile and use it .. avconv is a fork of ffmpeg ( I think ).

this is scary. I ran the command and:

ffmpeg ../Videos/oneoclockjump.flv  OneOClockJump.mp3
ffmpeg version 0.8.3-4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers
  built on Jun 12 2012 16:37:58 with gcc 4.6.3
*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.
File '../Videos/oneoclockjump.flv' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N] 

so this leaves me with some questions. 
1- does avconv have the same syntax 
2- why is it elling me it wants to write to the file I'm converting from?

that is what I thought it told us to do!! I thought it odd that we didnve to tell it what they output file type was except just on the output file name. So then to covert it to like an MP4 it would be ffmpeg -i filename.flv filename.mp4 ? In the same regard it seems ffmpeg converts input.xxx to output.yyy . Is that right? What if we have a media file with the encoding type striped off?

ffmpeg -i filename.flv filename.mp3  should do it.
