Mysterious Hard Freeze?

[Tony Baechler]

It sounds like you ran out of memory.  Perhaps next time try only opening 
one app at a time.  It could also be that your processor got too hot and 
fried your sound card, but I think that's unlikely unless this has happened 
often.  Does completely turning off the machine and doing a cold boot fix 
the sound card?

Can you post here what stream you're trying to record?  I never use X for 
stream capture.  Apparently there are several alternatives, depending on the 
content.  Perhaps MPlayer would work.  For regular mp3 streams, I use plain 
old wget and it has worked fine for years.
