You need to clarify what you're trying to accomplish.
The word "extract" is generally used in the context of digitally 
"ripping" a given stream.  This is accomplished in much less than "real 
time."  However, audio streams on most DVD's are not mp3 or wav.  So the 
resulting stream would need to subsequently be converted to what you 
desire.  Nearly any DVD decrypter has the ability to "extract" audio 
tracks.
In the context of the way you post your question, I suspect you may 
simply be interesting in "capturing" the audio track.  This is easily 
done in a variety of ways as discussed by the previous poster.  
Depending on your system, you may even be able to record while playing 
your DVD.  These methods are generally "real time" methods.  (By "real 
time," I mean that a 10 minute audio track will take you 10 minutes to 
capture.  This is in contrast to "extracting" an audio track which is 
generally accomplished in a fraction of the time.)
Although there is an ultimate time savings in learning how to 
"extract," such time savings is lost in the learning process for the 
various software involved.  If you only plan on doing this now and then, 
capturing is by far the easier way to go.
