Below is the script I use for this. I got the idea from some mailing list post
whose origin I forgot. You can specify the encoding quality by
providing additional options to lame. I usually stick to the presets.
Examples:
any2mp3 stream.dump test1.mp3
any2mp3 http://some.stream.com/playit test2.mp3
mplayer will show some error messages but they are not prolematic in
my experience.

I think you can also specify the URL of your stream as the first parameter
to the script instead of a local input file. See the above example.
