Thanks to all who responded.

Mencoder and mplayer can extract the soundtrack from the DVD.
The incantations below work, at least for me :-)

mplayer /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB -ao pcm:file=audio.wav -vc 
dummy -aid 128 -vo null

mencoder dvd://1 -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lavcopts 
acodec=mp3lame:abitrate=128 -o frameno.avi

mplayer dvd://1 -vo null -dumpaudio -dumpfile out.mp3

mplayer dvd://1 -aid 128 -vo null -ao pcm:file='ice2.wav'

So far, I've only been able to play the extracted soundtrack in audacity 
if it's a .wav file.
I'll look further at mplayer, mencoder and audacity.
Thanks again, guys.
