I believe these may help:
- ra2wav: http://www.lockergnome.com/ (?)...though this may be a
Legacy MS Windows-only tool.
- paudio: Linux kernel module for diverting RA streams.
- esound: the esddsp utility may be able to capture RA streams.

- Bag'o'Links:

Also check into G.728 file decoders:

Most of these links and tips were gleaned from a Slashdot discussion on
this topic, found through Google.
I haven't used any of these in recent memory, again, my experiments some
time back were unsuccessful.
