Maybe, but what he asked for was "the output that the speakers produce", not the 
signal that is input to the speakers.

If he wants the signal as sent to the speakers, does he want the actual electrical 
signal, decoded and turned into some file format, or does he want a copy of the 
MP3 or WAV or whatever generated that signal, or what?

You can guess all you want, but absent the *OP* answering the question, it is only a guess.

As another responder said, the question is vague, and certainly ambiguous.

So, OP, how about it? Are you going to ask a good question, or give up on getting a 
good answer?

The technique you use will depend on exactly what you want.
