The streaming I was speaking to is from a url or network resource. I keep a directory of m3u files which is just a url inside that you can open in vlc etc. `So ffmpeg -i [url] -c copy [file-name].mp3` does the trick for now. `mpv` can do this while saving to a file but it's a nice point to start from as I'm already getting some ideas how I could use this or roll my own, thanks!

whisper.cpp provides similar functionality via the `livestream.sh` script that performs transcription of a remote stream [0]. For example, you can transcribe BBC radio in 10s chunks like this:

  $ make base.en
  $ ./examples/livestream.sh http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/ak/bbc_world_service.m3u8 10

  [+] Transcribing stream with model 'base.en', step_s 10 (press Ctrl+C to stop):

Wow! Thanks for sharing, I didn't explore the repo much beyond that link, this looks very promising, I was going to tomorrow but checking out the src and building now! The confidence color coding btw is chef's kiss. Great job with this.
