I've updated the rm2mp3proxy script a bit.... it's a little better written now and it won't accept links with ";"s for security.
Changed the usage, is now:
http://localhost/GAIN/BITRATE/rtsp://mp3stream.....
Where GAIN is 1 for no processing and about 5 for the BBC streams... BITRATE is the resultant MP3 stream bitrate, eg 128.
I had a look at mms:// briefly... but despite it saying it was using an 8K cache, the cache filled mega slowly, and extrapolating, it looked like it was trying to get more like 8MB... i didn't leav eit to fill though.
