[lug] Converting RealAudio to MP3

[Tony Dyson]

The following command captures the output of my soundcard & encodes it 
as an mp3. I use it to record BBC RealAudio streams from RealPlayer 10 / 
Linux. The first parameter is the encoding bitrate & the second the 
filename.

sox -t ossdsp -w -s -r 44100 -c 2 /dev/dsp -t raw - | lame --verbose 
--clipdetect -x -q 2 -b $1 -m s - ./$2.mp3
