Since posting this, I found the answer. http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20040508124642.1144B16A50E_hub.freebsd.org%40ns.sol.net Scroll down to message 5. "mplayer file.ra -ao pcm" also works as "mplayer -ao pcm rstp://....ra" and produces a WAV file, audiodump.wav. (I think I had tried the -ao pcm option in combination with -dumpstream.) I'm still curious, however. Why does mplayer record to a RealAudio file, which is not a useful format? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
