OKaaay!

I found a way from the ALSA wiki:
	http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Record_from_pcm

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
record sound that is playing from another application use the 'Mix' 
device as the capture device:

amixer set 'Mix' cap
...
Now you should be able to record what's currently playing through your 
soundcard with:

arecord -t wav -f cd test.wav
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
(Then I run the iPlayer in konqueror and ^C arecord when it's done.)

Get round that, Auntie's DRM-wonks ;-)
