Thank you! It works! Now I don't have to: play the file with real 
player, record it from
the sound device, and then convert it into mp3! (The files to conver: 
77. The duration of
the playback: 30 min/file)

So the last commandline that I used goes:
    for i in `ls *.rm`; do j=`echo $i|cut -d'.' -f1`;  mplayer -v -ao 
pcm -cache 2048 "$i"; lame audiodump.wav "$j.mp3"; rm audiodump.wav; done

I'd forward this to a Taiwanese music station, which has abundant .rm 
files for adult
education, but lacks the means to convert them into .mp3 files.

Mplayer-users list rocks.
