Take a look through this old thread
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-September/002002.html

Basically 
mplayer http://pebbles.wizzhosting.co.nz:80/rk -dumpstream -dumpfile
stream.aac 
should do it, and schedule it to record with cron or at etc..
Most of the info you need is in the old thread, but if you need any
help, just shout.
