Capturing real audio streams.

Hi Geoff -

It is too bad Erik canot make that program misbehave like it does for most
other people. I sent him a copy of the poorly formed .wav file it produced
and he agreed that the file was flawed, but when he captured the same
stream source on his system it worked fine. He even went so far as to
install trplayer and realplayer7, but as I said before, he was not using
alsa drivers for his sound card. There is a clear need for a program like
vsound that works in a wider range of systems. I still find that it is
adequate for converting realaudio to .wav provided  the realaudio file
exists on my system, but with the newer servers for audio streams making
downloads impossible, that is often not possible.
