Here's a nice, small alternative if you have .NET Framework 2.0, bonus points is it converts the video without decompressing as well:

Nothing is "small" if it requires the bloat that is .Net - nor is it portable which this site is about!

Anyone know what the password to the zip file is?

@PJ, the alternative I list is small if you have .NET 2.0. I have listed it for people who might be interested and quite frankly, the program I mentioned does a better job.

Thanks freakazoid. Although I generally agree about the overhead of .Net apps, FlvToMp3 just isn't doing the job (fails on too many FLVs, needs to be updated) and I need to look elsewhere for anything that's even remotely portable.
'FLV Extract' also has a fairly recent update (Aug/2010) which is a good sign.

Update... 'FLV Extract' FAIL. Tossed a couple of FLV files at it and it outputted in AAC format which wasn't very helpful. I then tried Free:AC (previously named BoncEnc) and it failed to convert to any format though the diz states support for AAC files.
Sticking with an old favorite for now - KMPlayer: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=835 until FlvToMp3 gets updated or another solution presents itself. btw... KMPlayer is a pretty good app to have in your toolchest. Able to play just about anything, extract audio/video while playing (slow compared Flv2Mp3), tune your computer antenna for TV reception, AM/FM radio support with tuner card, digitize audio/video streams from external sources. Have done it all on this thing so it makes a good backup, at least, as a multi-media workhorse.

10 MB is too much for such a basic operation. Output file was unreadable. No longer maintained. That 'FLV Extract' also no good. -- Awkward to use drag & drop only interface. Output is AAC. It plays alright but mp3 is preferable.
V1.2.1

@abc - FLV Extract's output is the exact audio stream from the video. So if the audio output is AAC, the video was using AAC.
You might want to try Pazera Audio Extractor:

It allows you to convert to MP3.
V1.2.1

No longer functional with recently downloaded FLV files, but will work with older (probably 2011 and before).
V1.2.1

While its easy to use one of the many programs here on the site to *convert* a video, you have to be concerned about quality loss. After all, you don't want to re-compress the song (like copying one VCR tape to another). By just separating the audio from the video track as this program does, you can enjoy the music with the same sound and file size.
Happily, several portable programs are available to pull FLV files out of videos from Youtube and others including VDownloader (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1279) and WebVidCap (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1440.
I've been looking for a program that would do this for a long time. And this one is GPL'd!
