You'll probably need to convert the PCM file into another format for  
it to be much use. In Linux, you can use sox, e.g.:

   sox -t raw -r $samplerate -s -w -c $channels test.pcm -t wav test.wav

where $samplerate is the sampling frequency (in Hertz) and $channels  
is the number of channels (1 or 2) of the original MP3. (You may also  
need to use the -x option if your machine is big-endian.)
