It does.
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
