Use XMMS' diskwriter. Works great for me.

EDIT : Ok I feel stupid. I have found it. Continuing my search on Google I arrive on a foreign language site ( prolly swedish ) whicbh explained where to find it, altough I didnt understand a word, the pictures were pretty clear.... Sorry...

Where can I find XMMS diskwriter. It does not seem to be in my plugin list. I haven't found it on www.xmms.org, www.freshmeat.net, sourceforge.net, Icewalkers and Tucows.

When I searched on Google I only received
- XMMS page
- RPM for Mandrake or Alt Linux that didn't work beacause of many reasons like dependency problems and such
- Sites reviewing XMMS

The only thing that could have come close was a package containing 250 plugins on XMMS, site I told myself one of them must be it but the link to download the package was broken.

It does'nt seem to be in Portage either.

Are you sure the diskwriter plugin is not in your list? Normally, if you go to options-->preferences-->Audio I/O Plugins it is listed under output plugin.

The diskwriter no longer comes standard. It needs to be emerged separately;

emerge media-plugins/xmms-disk-writer

Just out of curriosity, why are you converting mp3 back to wav? Understand that this will be very lossy.
