You should have gone into more detail about how exactly you failed, commands you used, etc.. However, google spits out several links when being asked for "mencoder wma to wav", so how about this one?
mencoder -ao pcm -aofile /your/wave.wav /your/wmafile.wma

Of course you need the wmv codecs installed on your system.

Try the followwing :

Code:
$ transcode -i file.wmv -o file -y null,mp3
it might create a file called file.mp3 in the current directory

mplayer -ao pcm -aofile /your/wave.wav /your/wmafile.wmv -vc dummy -vo null

The "vc" and "vo" turn off video so it gets done faster.

Here is how I would exract audio from a .wmv using mplayer and then convert to .mp3 using lame:

mplayer -cache 128 -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile ~/raw.pcm ~/movie.wmv

lame raw.pcm movie_audio.mp3
