Now get the link of the stream. You can get it by clicking on stream with right mouse button and then selecting properties.

Open the terminal and type:

mplayer mms:/link/something.xxx -dumpstream -dumpfile file.xxx

mms:/link/something.xxx - link to the stream you wish to download
file.xxx - file to which you wish to download the stream, be careful to write the same extension xxx

Wait for the file to download and that's it.
