Hmmm, you're thinking of just capturing the raw output? A better way might be to use Lame, and then burn onto disk, as lame will support this reverse action. It will probably also be faster, as I'd imagine that even if you don't want to hear the output, mpg123 will still play at normal listening speed. Also, you may want to listen to the raw files first, as they will contain any impurities of the original mp3, such as pops, bangs, and reduced quality.
