  Once you succeed in making <application>MPlayer</application> play
  your favorite internet radio station, you can use the option
  <option>-dumpstream</option> to save the stream into a file.
  For example:
<screen>
  mplayer <replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> -dumpstream -dumpfile <replaceable>tsf-jazz.mp3</replaceable>
</screen>
  will save the content streamed from
  <replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> into
  <replaceable>tsf-jazz.mp3</replaceable>.
  This also works with all protocols supported by
  <application>MPlayer</application>, like MMS, RSTP, and so forth.
