Thanks for the lead. Unfortunately, while that "almost" works (mplayer shows sensible output), I hear weird bursts of unintelligable sound instead of the radio program I recorded. The only difference I see see between the way mplayer plays the live stram and the way it plays the file I saved is that in the live stream I see: AUDIO: 22050 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 32.0 kbit/4.54% (ratio: 4003->88200) while in the recorded file (with the above options) I see AUDIO: 22050 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 32.0 kbit/4.54% (ratio: 4000->88200) note the difference between "4000" and "4003". Does this mean anything? Is it something I can change? I also have to comment that I upgraded mplayer since saving that file, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I created that file with mplayer 1.0pre2, and now I have mplayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3. Could that have made some difference? (pre2 didn't even had the options you suggested me to try).
