I use a script based on one which was I found through the thread you 
mention.
It's on 
http://squat.homelinux.net/recmp3.sh
It uses vsound, sox, lame and realplayer to capture the stream as a wav, 
then convert to mp3.  I've added some tweaks of my own - I record a lot 
of bbc7 listenagain streams, and sometimes found the stream ended early, 
so I added a loop to check the length and re-record if too short.  It 
defaults to 32kb encoding at 11.025khz - too low for music but fine for 
the spoken word, which is what I record.
