--force and --raw don't really make sense in your scenario.  --raw is 
implied by --stream and --force is effectively ignored with --stream. 
That makes sense if you think about it: you're not recording, but rather 
you're telling get_iplayer to instruct rtmpdump to grab a media stream 
and pump it to stdout.

David has pointed out your error in using bash.  Beyond that, remember 
that you have 2 processes (get_iplayer and mplayer) to capture output 
from and each has its own stdout/stderr handles.  My guess is you want 
something like:

get_iplayer --stream 104 2> get_iplayer.log | mplayer -cache 3072 - > 
mplayer.log 2>&1
