I have actually, and I get audible sound, but it's as if I had taken the
original file and chopped it up into little bits and swapped them around.

I was hoping someone could supply a working command line example using
either mplayer or mencoder that did RA->MP3 in a single pipeline.

(Re:mencoder, it dumps core for almost anything I try with it, and using
 named pipes exhibit the same problem as the above pipe approach.)
