Getting realaudio output into "the real world" is fairly simple.  Record
from AUDIO_CODEC_LOOPB_IN and dump to NAS or simply to stdout.

If you don't have codec loopback (no audio h/w or pre-Solaris 8) consider
a simple LD_PRELOAD library to catch the open/write/close calls to
/dev/audio.  The most annoying part of RealPlayer isn't the lack of an
audio output dump, it's the lack of command-line scriptability.  There are
multiple examples of audio capture libs in Dejanews.
