 From FOLDOC (Computing)::

streaming

    <communications> Playing sound or video in real time as
    it is downloaded over the Internet as opposed to storing it
    in a local file first.  A plug-in to a web browser such as
    Netscape Navigator decompresses and plays the data as it is
    transferred to your computer over the World-Wide Web.
    Streaming audio or video avoids the delay entailed in
    downloading an entire file and then playing it with a helper
    application.  Streaming requires a fast connection and a
    computer powerful enough to execute the decompression
    algorithm in real time.

Audio Hijack is supposed to be what you're looking for. Haven't used it 
myself, though, so I'm curious how well it works in the real world.
