Recording streaming audio 4933
I've tried to use the arecord command as suggested by zentara to capture a RealAudio stream that I was listening to on a website but I can't get it to work.
1. Used alsamixer in the "All" view to set both the "Line" and "Capture" devices to "Capture" at the 100% level.
2. Started RealPlayer10 to listen to an audio stream from a website at 32 kbps.

arecord -f S16LE -c1 -r 44100 -t wav -d 45 -D hw:0,0 lame +%d%b%y%H%M%S`.mp3
That immediately wrote a 1Kb mp3 file which has nothing in it (according to Audacity) and produced the following text message:

4. Then used the command arecord -f cd -t wav -d 45 -D +%d%b%y%H%M%S`.mp3
After 45 seconds, that wrote a 705 Kb mp3 file which again had no sound in it and produced the following text output:

5. Then used the command arecord -f cd -t wav -d 45 -D hw:0,0 capture.wav
which after 45 sec wrote a 7752 Kb wav file which again had no sound in it and produced the following text output:

What am I doing wrong?
