   I am trying to copy some dreaming audio, that comes through adobe   
   media player. Its not like a shoutcast or anything. So i tried, going   
   to the website starting up the audio file, which started playing   
   through firefox. Then   
      
   zsh % tail -f /dev/audio > this.american.life-318.pcm   
   tail: cannot open `/dev/audio' for reading: Device or resource busy   
   tail: no files remaining   
   zsh %    
      
      
   is there a way to get the sound to a normal readable file? Or any   
   hints on who to do this?
