I've been using a BrookTree ("Haupauge WinTV") PCI card for
capturing from TV which worked very good using the standard
programs mplayer and mencoder.

For capturing TV programs, there may be some service like
the Online TV Recoder which I occassionally use. Maybe this
works also for radio programs?

Additionally, there may be an option to download some kind
of media streams. There are tools for that available.

Yes, it is. It's also illegal to listen to MP3 in the US. :-)
