[plug] Sound

[Kai]

I've successfully encoded live audio onto file in RealAudio format for
streaming onto the net...maybe if you want to record to file and then
playback through your line-out jack onto a tape deck that'll work ?
Although I use RealAudio to record live streams rather than onto a file on
disk but it can be used that way.

If you need any help with it, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
