Often, but not always, when you have one of those metafile URIs, you can give the address to mplayer, and let it handle it. e.g. mplayer -playlist http://example.com/playlist.m3u (likewise with various other protocols than HTTP). If that manages to play it, then you can so something similar, adding dumpstream options to the command line. To pipe the output to a file, instead of through the sound hardware. mplayer -dumpfile savedfilename -vc dummy -vo null -dumpstream -playlist http://example.com/streamname.m3u Then, if you want to monitor what's happening, you can play the file being dumped to the drive, *as* it's being dumped, with another instance of mplayer. Just wait a while before issuing the command, so that you've got enough of the stream downloaded to your drive. mplayer savedfilename Messy and convoluted, but I've done that with a radio station stream that was impossible to listen to live (it kept on stuttering). > is there a generic procedure to record audio output from sound card in > my Fedora Linux 11 ? Well, to answer your query literally, if you want to record the audio that's put out by the card, it is possible to connect a patch lead from the output socket, back to an input socket, and record *that*. Be sure that the input socket doesn't go back through to the output, as well. e.g. Sound card line out to sound card line in. Line in recording volume control turned up sufficiently. Line in monitoring volume control completely off. There were some sound cards that did make it easy to record the output data just by playing with the mixer controls. But if you had one of them, you'd probably have found the controls to play with, by now. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
