I see elsewhere in the thread you mention that you don't have mplayer,
but can I suggest that this is the answer for you? The syntax to
capture a .ram file to disk for example is:
mplayer -playlist URL.ram -ao pcm:file=saved.wav -vo null -vc null
and the stream will be saved in real time to the working directory as
saved.wav. Then convert to whatever audio format: mp3, ogg etc.
Pick up the svn copy and the complete codecs package, you won't regret
it.
