Not yet :) I am working on the StreamRecorder extension right know and  
patched it to work on OS X. Encoding to mp3 (using LAME) and FLAC works in  
real-time and produces close-to-zero cpu utilization on my 4 year old  
core2duo cpu.  - so I don't think lack of the CPU power is the reason  
here. It could be the CD-ROM drive, maybe if it reads block after block  
and slows down the disc after each block or sth.


[OFFTOPIC]: David, what is the policy for OS X and mp3 playback/encoding?  
As I said i just enabled Streamrecorder, but for mp3 encoding to work lame  
would have to be shipped in the .app bundle. I know there a patent issues  
when sipping mp3 en-/decoders, so i was thinking to automatically disable  
LAME on release-builds but include it on non-release builds so that users  
can grab their own bockbuild and create their own .app bundle with patent  
encumbered stuff.
