I'm on a trip in a day or so and am looking for a way to automate
recording (via mplayer) of some radio shows while I am gone. The
recording I think I can figure out -- using a command like

$ mplayer -streamdump <foo> -cache 128

but I get a file that's ASF. It also (on the site I'm using) gives
a monaural signal. When I play the stream back, I can visually see 
it as stereo in xine. Audacity brings it in but it seems to be corrupted,
as all I get out of it is a wierd screech sound that lasts for about
two seconds. Also that's what is in my .wav file when I try and export 
it to wav format using audacity.  So there must be some sort of conversion
I'm missing.

My other option is to do some of this manually through an sshd connection
but I don't believe I will have internet access during my trip.

Any suggestions? I also need to stop the stream at a predetermined time. I
saw a writeup about this, issue #94 of Linux Gazette, although it's
emphasizing ecasound and encoding local FM through a radio card.
