When specifying the --extract-audio option with MP3 format, it extracts the audio to 128K by default. It doesn't allow to specify the quality. I know that with aac it extracts the highest audio quality, but I needed the Mp3 format. Also, by default, it automatically erases the video file after conversion.

The request here is to keep these defaults and allow these missing features. I have done a patch that implement them:

I have created a branch and submited the code with a pull request. I guess this thread isn't needed anymore...
