I've tried ffmpeg but there is no /dev/dsp device.

Try SoX or Ecasound.

Those could work but I'd really like to have a ffmpeg solution because I alredy use it for other things. – codeflakes Sep 14 '11 at 16:33
Apparently ffmpeg supports Mac audio recording out of the box if built with OpenAL. So go right ahead. – Ingmar Hupp Sep 14 '11 at 18:14

I'd recommend looking into MPlayer OSX Extended -- it's a port of the linux app "mplayer" and will let you record from a multitude of audio sources (including streams and remote files).

/Applications/MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended.app/Contents/Resources/Binaries/mpextended.mpBinaries/Contents/mpextended.mpBinaries/Contents/MacOS/mplayer \
    http://server.com/stream.pl \
    -cache 1024 -ao coreaudio:device_id=49 -volume 65 -ac hwac3, -slave \
    -identify -noar -dumpstream -dumpfile ~/Desktop/stream.mp3

See http://www.mplayerosx.ch/ for more information
