I don't know any. Mencoder refuses to let real audio go through -oac copy, so
remuxing into .rm seems impossible, but you can capture it directly to mp3 for
example, using a little trick:
mencoder -vc null -of lavf -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -o test.mp3 -audiofile \
rtsp://82.94.242.21:554/broadcast/radio.rm -noskip tv://dummy
(tv://dummy generates some dummy videostream, which is not encoded because of
-vc null)

It's a hack and after losing the audio stream, it encodes futhermore, not
generating any data at all. You have to Ctrl-C it then. And you can also
Ctrl-C it anytime to stop recording.

Try getting newer realplayer maybe. With RealPlayer-10.0.5.756-20050513 it
works.
