If you have a DVD-ROM in your computer a possible method could be:
1) Rip the .vob files to hdd using SmartRipper (freeware)
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/smartripper.cfm
2) Demux the (.m2v) video and (.ac3) audio files with TMPGEnc (freeware
version only has 30 days of MPG-2 functionality) or use the freeware
prog DVD2AVI
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd2avi.cfm
to create a DVD2AVI Project file (.d2v?) and .ac3 file. (Also can
directly convert audio to .wav, even downsample to 44.1, but I have no
idea how good the quality is)
3) Convert .ac3 to .wav with Azid (freeware)
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/azid.html
4) Downsample using your favorite WAV editor, or a freeware prog like
SSRC http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_software/audio_tools/ssrc.cfm
I have never used these tools for this particular purpose, but I have
used them for video editing/conversions and they should do the job.
HTH,
Jim

Not to mention the quality of the PDAs preamp, lack of Phantom power etc.

This program does a really nice job - rips the chapters directly to separate
MP3 or WAV files....which you can burn right to CD-R
http://www.imtoo.com/
DVD Audio Ripper is the name of the program.

Actually, if you got a DVD-Rom with your computer, you can rip the audio
tracks directly from the DVD, either extracting the VOB files to your
computer, or even directly extracting Wave files from the DVDs.
For many DVDs a program called ImtOO DVD Audio Ripper works great, otherwise
use a program like AC3 Audio Decrypter after ripping the VOB files.
If you need to know more details, write to me off list.
