Is there a simple command-line utility for unix available to use to convert an .m4a audio file or .webm file (that I can generate from youtube-dl) to a wave (.wav) file?
I tried ffmpeg and it gives me errors when I tried converting to any output format and it also creates zero-byte files.
I also don't have avconv but when I looked at its documentation online I think it wants to install the same libraries ffmpeg already installed.
But rather than installing an elaborate package (as I am low on disk space), isn't there a simple utility that can do this task for unix?

I found my answer from here:
I just have to execute:
faad -o outputfile.wav inputfile.m4a
