Sure, use the --format option to select the format you want, and --list-formats to generate a list of available formats. YouTube does not offer direct download of the audio only, but one can splice it from any format that does contain MP3 audio (and that's what 10youtube.com does, note the URL of the MP3 file).

You can let youtube-dl do that by specifying --extract-audio (and --audio-format if you want a particular format). Note that only the formats 5 and 6 contain native MP3. For the other formats, YouTube uses better formats, which youtube-dl will either pass through, or convert, depending on your setting of --audio-format.
