Downloading a youtube video and extracting only the audio

[Chris Lemire]

I succesfully downloaded a youtube video in .flv
 format after lots of googling. However following
 directions to extract the audio has not worked
 for me with no obvious reasons to me why. I checked
 the video I download with VLC. It does have
 audio.

Here's what I've tried to extract the audio. On
 other places on the net, I saw the same two
 commands working for others. Here's the video.

In order to get the video.flv, I did some tricky
 stuff with wget I found from google that worked!
 I just wished extracting the audio was as easy.
 Here's how I did it.
