Yes. But you probably need to do some tweaking, and refer to some Twiki pages that were put up sometime back by another member to the list. At the moment, I pull it down in .mp3 form from a station in Ohio (wclv-fm) which airs the show at 8pm pdt on Saturday nights. (As I missed this week's show, it would be nice to find other sources, especially online, as there's not a station in my area I can listen to over FM. Should you have a link, please send it to me - privately so it doesn't flood this list :). The station plays the audio in mp3 though. Regardless of the format, all you really need to do is ensure that you have 'sox' loaded, and that 'sox' is doing its recording off the OSSDSP port - so what it's actually doing is recording off of the soundcard's playback in real time. Invoke a shell script similar to: #! /bin/sh sox -V -c2 -r 44100 -t ossdsp -w -s /dev/dsp -t wav - | lame -h - $1.mp3 That script records input from the soundcard in WAV format - piping it to lame, making a high-quality mp3 in real time. What you also need to do is experiment with levels in kmix or another suitable mixer, which is a bit tricky, and requires some experimentation. I typically also load up the result of that in audacity, which lets me do a number of useful tasks before finishing the final form, burning to CD (recently) or uploading the show to Usenet, which I have done a few times. PS. If you have the show saved (last weeks especially) please contact me offlist for ftp access to this machine - I'd really like to have it :). I think I can find a way to encode/decode the RA file. Other than mencoder, I don't know of a way to *directly* re-encode Real Media files, other than just recording while they play. Another method that's similar if not more direct is mplayer, which can take the URL for the show and then you can tell it to dump the stream using the --dumpstream option. Once dumped, you can process or encode it further. I don't think this will let you listen to the stream at the same time though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
