I have some .rm (real audio) files that I'd like to convert to mp3's, and perhaps to .wav's as well as mp3's I'd like to convert to .wav's (so as to make plain old audio cd's to play in the car). Since the real audio files are closed source and there probably isn't an open source player available I was wondering how to do this. It occurred to me that ANY mp3 or real audio player would have to send the data to the audio driver so it should be possible to write a program that would act as a "Tee" to capture the data stream going to the driver and write it out to a .wav file. (To convert the .rm to .mp3's all you would need would be the intermediate .wav file.) It might be necessary to hack the audio driver to do this (use the open source drivers!). Does anyone have any ideas on this, or has it been done already?
