Since wav files occupy quite some space, a better method to convert a real audio file would be the following:

# mkfifo stream.wav

# mplayer mplayer -ao pcm:file=stream.wav rtsp://XXXX/stream.rm &

# lame stream.wav

# rm stream.wav

mkfifo create a socalled ‘named pipe’ (see http://www2.linuxjournal.com/article/2156 for a tutorial). mplayer writes to that pipe while lame (at the same time) reads from it and encodes the file on the fly.
