I use guitar tracks pro for that. It’s probably overkill but with that software, you can tell it what “channel” of your soundcard to record. ie. microphone/line in/wav/etc. I’m sure there is a lighter application that will do the same thing out there. edit: try this?

i’m pretty sure you can adjust the input in sound recorder to WAV or something and record that way but yea winamp will do it also ---

Firefox has an audio and a video plugin that records streaming media as an mp3-wma-avi files onto your hd…are you looking to record just audio or video?
