I have done this before so will try to give you a quick idea about how to go about it.
Roughly, you rip audio from the DVD as above (see my SmartRipper example) but look for a 2-channel track (labelled with "2Ch" in SmartRipper, say). You're not interested in preserving the exact digital data so just decode the ac3 file to WAV; a piece of software called BeSweet will do this for you I think (you can get a GUI/wizard version which should help). A program called Headac3he can also decode ac3 files -- and has various options for downmixing 5.1 channels into 2, in case you can't find a stereo track on the DVD. >From a WAV you can encode to MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, whatever; BeSweet can probably do that for you too. Note that the audio so obtained will be at 48000 Hz, so it's not ready for burning to CD without re-sampling. Hope this helps. I'll be offline for a few days now so will try to answer questions on my return.
