Gives stereo, 16bit, 44.1kHz (default in Ubuntu/Medibuntu ffmpeg). -aq 2 = 220-250kbit/s VBR, lower number is better quality. 2 or 3 should be good for most people. If you want the best mp3 q you should remove -aq and use -ab 320k to get 320kbit/s, but that is probably overkill for most .flv videos.
0ffmpeg -i input.flv -aq 2 output.mp3 -
