Ripping Streams Directly to mp3?

[Rudy Vener]

lame can  compress  directly from the standard input to the standard output
e.g.
	      cat inputfile | lame -r -m m -b 24 --resample 22.05 - - > output

so create a script called stream2mp3 liks so:
	      lame -r -m m -b 24 --resample 22.05 - - 

then call your streaming process pipe it to stream2mp3 and redirect 
to your output.mp3 file.
