I've listened to and recorded the stream from Sirius before.  I would
login and start playing the stream with firefox, and mplayer-plugin,
and then copy the url from mplayer, and load it into the wizard in
vlc, and start it to record.  I recorded a full day this way about 10
months ago.  The standard stream is only 32K though so it is a little
crappy.
