It did, but it apparently dumped the _raw_ stream, as the file was only ~19M
as opposed to ~800M. I think the "unknown header" played a role in that.
Maybe it was a later version of RA than mplayer could handle fully? (But
mplayer was able to play the file successfully, which is odd.) Any supplied
codec did not change things; the resulting file was byte-for-byte identical.
Does capturing it in the method I chose go through an analog step, or is it
all digital?
