you could do it with good ol' shell pipes: wget http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet-latest.osm.bz2 -O - | bzcat osmosis --read-xml "/dev/stdin" --bounding-box top=49.5138 left=10.9351 bottom=49.3866 right=11.201 --write-xml "extract.xml" similar you can use /dev/stdout as output-file and pipe another command at the end, eg. bzip to comress the data again or a script that parses the data from stdin.
