MOD files originated on the Amiga long before being able to just take long samples of music was feasible; instead it's a sort of bare-bones MIDI format which relies completely on fixed samples. You'd have about as much luck trying to convert a CD track to a .mid file. There are a ton of mod players and probably some composers (known as 'trackers') availible for Linux. Do a search on freshmeat or linuxapps for "s3m", "mod", "tracker", or "xm".
