This approach doesn't always work, if the stream is over rtsp for example.
In which case do as above, but instead of pasting the link into your
browser do this at a command prompt...
mplayer -dumpstream url
replacing url with the location of the rm file.
This work on linux, windows and might work on Mac if you can build the
source code.
You will end up with a file stream.dump in the current directory. Rename
that file and give it an rm extension away you go. This works in real
time though, it's like recording a tape. It will work with all real
audio streams though.
