I'd start by looking in the LibMad sources.  Extracting the raw ancillary data 
from L2 frames is pretty straightforward (unlike L3, where the bitstream must 
be partially uncompressed first).  Another doc that may be of some help is:

Not PAD specific, but it does illustrate one technique for accessing the 
ancillary channel.

Cheers!
