While converting a video to another format, I found it necessary to split apart an MPEG-2 file into it’s separate audio and video parts: an MPEG-1 audio file (.m1a) and an MPEG-2 video file (.m2v). QuickTime can convert MPEG-2 to another format, but couldn’t do much with an MPEG-1 audio file. After some searching, I found a utility that happily converts .m1a to .aiff, MAD audio encoder.
From that site: “Mad is a high Quality Open-Source Audio encoder Library. It encodes mp3, mp2 and others to aiff or cdda and others. This is particulary interesting, if you want to edit a mpeg file in quicktime or import an mpeg into FCP or DVD-Studio.”

You should check out MPEG Streamclip as well, I was in the need of a similar app and it handled it well for me. And it can demux to AIFF directly Also bbDeMux worked fine (both are on macupdate).
bbDeMux doesn’t convert .m1a to .aiff
Streamclip is a lifesaver. I have a Cyber-Shot Sony and I couldn’t edit the mpg in FCP…no sound. This is little program does it all.
Thank you, thank you.
