I had mplayer 0.91 successfully get a realaudio stream iver the Net. And with the wave-writer audio output plugin, it wrote it to disk, too. (mencoder did not manage to work with the stream directly; I had to use mplayer and its file output). To do this, I clicked on the "Listen" link (on a certain site) and had Konqueror save the incoming file. It was a brief file containing an url; the url started with "pnm://" Then I did: mplayer -ao pcm -aofile filename.wav pnm://some.site/some_dir/some_stream.ra It worked! But, it did not exit automatically. I had to see when the second counter stopped ticking, and precc Ctrl+C. Then, the wav file was right there. For some minutes after this, streaming another stream from the same server was not possible. HTH (Hope This Helps). Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
