Please consider allowing pipe to stdout in future releases #279

Hi The get_iplayer --long-help documentation shows that "--stream" is a "Deprecated Option".

But it's useful to be able to pipe to stdout without downloading.

Examples...

URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07q2gbl"; \
get_iplayer --force --mode=hafstd --stream --type=radio --url=$URL | \
ffmpeg -y -i - -ac 1 -ar 16000 -sample_fmt s16 -map_metadata -1 \
$(get_iplayer --info --type=radio --url=$URL | grep 'fileprefix:' | cut -f2- -d' ').flac
URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07q2gbl"; \
get_iplayer --force --mode=hafstd --stream --type=radio --url=$URL | \
ffmpeg -i - -f wav - | gogo -silent -b 128 -q 2 stdin \
$(get_iplayer --info --type=radio --url=$URL | grep 'fileprefix:' | cut -f2- -d' ').mp3
~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.04.5
