Oh. vsound has always worked fine for me (with realplay; I haven't tried it with mplayer). However, the mplayer magic may well work better. It seems a more sane way of doing it, anyway.

I've installed RealPlayer 10 and if I listen to live BBC Radio I can listen in Real Player and view the source as described. However, I want to record last Tuesday's Steve Wright show (my bro' was on the quiz) and when I listen to that, it always opens the BBC radio player, and I can hear it OK, but don't know how to record, and the instructions given to the OP apply to the RealPlayer app. The built in BBC player didn't work for me in Konqueror by the way, and so I configured that to use RealPlayer for real audio files, but that didn't work either. I don't have KRecord, would I be able to configure that to record the audio stream? I'm running out of time here! Thanks in advance SW |
