OK, I got vsound installed (from the link ben sent) and that seems ok, but 
your script (with relevant path change in outputdir) returns:

dylan at scooby:~> ./realgrab.sh test 5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/live/fmg2.ram
Usage: realgrabhow.sh ShowTitle length URL
eg: realgrabnow.sh GoonShow 30 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/realplayer/dsatg2.ram
sox: Failed reading -: Did not detect valid Sun/NeXT/DEC magic number in 
header.
ERROR: Input file "(stdin)" is not a supported format

sox is installed, but I don't know how to test it is functioning.
