Hi
This command will download live Radio 3 HD (320Kbps):-
get_iplayer --get --type=liveradio "http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/gtis/?server=cp60703.live.edgefcs.net&identifier=Special_Event1_UK@s6485&kind=akamai&application=live"

The result is an flv file, it can then be re-packaged as m4a.
The explanation is here:- http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2010-December/000390.html
