Simplest form, using mplayer, if you know the RA stream:
URL="rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra"
mplayer -cache 128 -bandwidth 999999999999 $URL -ao null -dumpstream \
-dumpfile /tmp/bbc.ra
If you have the stream embedded in
http://****.ram, the add "-playlist".
In my experience, a small cache and large bandwidth result in fast
startup and download (e.g. at line speed).
