Found this: http://blog.firetree.net/2005/09/23/recording-from-realplayer/
which gave me enough clues to:
- raise the mixer channel "Wave Capture" to 100%
- set the "Capture" flag on the "Wave" channel
- lower the "Master" and "Wave Surround" channels, as I didn't want to hear
it
- "service foo stop" for each service that might make noise
- "mplayer -cache 64 $URL" (it stuttered with smaller caches, and the
default of 8M took forEVER to fill)
- quickly, "arecord -D front -t wav -c 2 -r 44100 -f S16_LE > $FILE.wav"
- wait...
Now I have to trim it (currently 843M) and see if I can fit it on a CD
without time-compressing it.
