StreamDVD can be used to rip the audio stream.  It can usually rip
just a chapter.  mplayer can start at certain time (-ss) and write the
audio to a file (-ao pcm).  Dunno how to get it to stop after a
certain time, but it can probably be done.

Then use an audio editor as was previously suggested (Audacity, etc.).
