Okay, that's a different question. Sorry, I missed the "internet  
stream" in your first post. You want to capture the TCP/IP-based stream  
and save it to MP3 or AAC-based format.

Doesn't look like WEVO has anything to capture, but WBUR does. They  
offer Windows Media, Real and Quicktime streams. Hacking their streams  
to see what they are, the Mov stream is controlled by an XML file with  
a .qtl extension that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>

<embed
	autoplay="true"
	href="http://www.techsuperpowers.com/wbur"
	src="http://live.wbur.org/feed/wburlive_20040908.mov"
	/>

I'll bet tomorrow's is named "wburlive_20040908.mov," too, eh?

Now, capturing streaming .mov to mp3? There may be some experts on the  
forum who can offer better advice than I. A google search of "linux  
streaming mov capture mp3" turns up lots of promising leads, like:
