This question has been asked before but was misunderstood. Just like the asker in the other thread, my goal is not to install flash in my browser so I can hear flash-based radio in the browser. My goal is to extract the real media url so I can listen to that radio in players like audacious.

To back this up with an example: http://www.boomerradio.com/ How do I listen to these stations on audacious?

I've tried looking in etherape and in the source of the page to find the actual streaming url, but I think they hide it deliberately.

You need a plugin for your browser that allows to analyze the objects on a web page. I had success with abusing AdBlock(plus). – guntbert Jan 20 at 22:04
I've tried that, with the result that I see an url with a proprietary adobe format rtmp: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Messaging_Protocol The url looks like this: rtmp://boomerradio-wowza.streamguys.com:80 This url can't be understood. What surprises me, the ALSA plug in container can forward the music to the speakers, so how is this rtmp url translated. Confusing... – Axaes Xandal Feb 3 at 18:09
