Snark..
As assorted mentioned, Total Recorder is what you want. It's very cheap (as is a lot of this type of nifty utility software), so suport the makers and pay for it. The principle behind it is very simple:

- it installs a virtual device driver, in this case a sound card.
- under Control Panel -> Sounds & Multimedia -> Audio you can select the default sound playback device. Set it to the virtual device.
- proceed as before.

A special configuration application will interface with the virtual device and you can have it record everything it receives to a wav file. It will also pass on the sound stream to the regular sound card, so you still get to hear everything just fine (with a little bit of lag though).

Until such time as the sound stream is encrypted all the way between the application and speakers, recording the actual audio played will always be possible this way.
