Not wanting to mess about with the plugin, I did this on the font end instead.

// regular expression:
$matchSrc = "/src=[\"' ]?([^\"' >]+)[\"' ]?[^>]*>/i" ;
// get the <img src="... from the plugin, via one on various methods explained in the documentation...
$avatar = get_avatar($user->ID, 64); // for example
// preg match to extract the src= bit
preg_match($matchSrc, $avatar, $matches);
$theImageUrl = $matches[1];

That gives you everything between src=”[…]”.

I wanted to use it for the background of a div…

echo "<div style='background:url($theImageUrl) center no-repeat;'>";

I hope it helps 🙂
