I'm really sorry about this but I refuse to have a signature more than

Anyway..

xine also can save the output of what you're playing/streaming, I've
found it good for mms/rtsp/rtp/http streaming.  I also use mplayer,
but I prefer xines dvd menu support.

from the changelog:

  * new "file" (wave) audio out plugin
    example: XINE_WAVE_OUTPUT=/tmp/file.wav xine -A file music.mp3

Thanks,

Damion
