How would one go about recording a RealPlayer audio stream to - well, any format, really - on Mac or Linux?

On the mac google for a product called 'wiretap'

Works on any audio you can hear cant remember what format it outputs tho...

WTS. Wiretap is vg. And I was using it myself just this morning to trap a couple of Quicktime streams.

The output is in AIFF, which is uncompressed, but iTunes will mp3 it for you.

You'll also want a copy of Audacity, to edit out any whitespace at the beginning/end.

On Linux Glyn uses mplayer with the -dumpstream option. He's tried to teach me how to use it and failed, so if you need any more detail then you'll have to ask him.

mplayer "http://somewhere.com/blah.rm" -dumpstream -dumpfile output_file.rm

Or even better, use mencoder (comes with mplayer) to record the stream out to some more friendly format, eg. MP3 or Ogg.

Give mencoder the same playback parameters as mplayer, then add the encoding options.
eg. (off the top of my head)
mencoder "http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/triplej.asf" -o recorded_triplej.mp3 -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard

can also work if you have video, too.

An alternative to mplayer (no claims that it's necessarily better) under Linux is vsound.

There is a script at http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=bpin74%247b9%241%40niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk&output=gplain which showed me how to use it, and it works for me.

Plug the soundcard output into one's iRiver. Works for me....
