I don't think that is right.

You can't do it with GiP.

You have a choice of using a recent nightly build of VLC as Vangelis 
explains in
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2017-August/010957.html
and the other messages in the thread, or a special version of ffmpeg as Jim 
explained in April.  Vangelis gives a link to Jim's article.  In either case 
you can record the live stream, which includes all R3 output during the 
Proms trial period.
