as far as i understand the original question, it is not about encoding
(in which case --endpos does work) but dumping.
just tested it myself:
mplayer http://relay0.fm4.amd.co.at:31337/ -dumpaudio --endpos 1mb
stream is dumped, but i killed mplayer when stream.dump reached a size of
1,5 megs.
maybe there is a way to get mencoder to do the job somehow, so i tried
mencoder -o test.avi -ovc frameno -oac copy http://relay0.fm4.amd.co.at:1337/
--endpos 1mb
which resulted in segfault. i'm not really sure why:
- my computer just sucks, mencoder not installed properly
- just tried something mencoder is not supposed to be able to
(using mencoder to copy a audio stream to a avi without video seems
a bit strange to me, but the idea was to use mencoder & endpos, dumping
audio to "real" mp3 should be simple then.)
- possibly real bug, my version is 0.9pre7
[ ] please try current CVS read bugreports.html and follow the
instructions...
- i messed up, there is actually a way to use mencoder to dump the
stream.
