Capturing audio streams

Hello,

Firefox is able to read and reproduce any video or audio streamed on the internet. So, I can record the output from firefox when it plays music from Youtube for example.

But if I want to get the original stream, before it is decoded by Firefox, I couldn't find a solution. Yet it would be enough to make a fork in the Firefox module (which identifies the codec, process the audio stream and sends the result to the audio device) and make available the raw audio data in a place where the user could know the codec and the bitrate and choose the best solution to store this stream. It is not usefull to use a vorbis encoder at 320 kb/s if the input is an mp3 encoded at 128 kb/s !

Is there any solution to do this ? Thanks.
