The nux repo has most of the multimedia stuff and is more or less the go to
repo these days. 

I would just use it to install ffmpeg which should include the needed
codecs.

ffmpeg -i myfile.flac myfile.mp3 will probably do it.

(Untested--actually I built ffmpeg from source, because I wanted a later
version, but that had more to do with some video stuff.)
