Capturing streaming audio

[hart at nasw.org]

I'm also testing the latest release of RAW. For some reason (probably 
my age) I didn't grok RAW, but I think I'm recording as we speak.

One difference: RAW records in AAC, while Audio Hijack records in aiff. 
Considering that any streams likely of pretty poor quality, would that 
matter? I guess Audio Hijack could capture streams of applications 
playing audio that's actually on the hard drive.

Given that such applications are available, why can't any recording 
application, such as Sound Studio, record whatever the Mac's playing?
