 <para>
   Once you succeed in making <application>MPlayer</application> play
-  your favorite internet radio station, you can use the option
+  your favorite internet stream, 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>
+  mplayer <replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> -dumpstream -dumpfile <replaceable>stream.asf</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
+  <replaceable>stream.asf</replaceable>.
+  This works with all protocols supported by
   <application>MPlayer</application>, like MMS, RSTP, and so forth.
+  If you only wish to save audio or video, use <option>-dumpaudio</option>
+  or <option>-dumpvideo</option> respectively, but be aware that
+  <application>MPlayer</application> will ignore all but the last
+  <option>-dump*</option> option given on the command line.
