If the application you want to record is playing to an alsa output

This make me think it is not noise as that would affect AAC transcoded

How were the file encoded ? What settings were used ?
How are you playniug the BBC streams ?
If you are using the squeezenet and the MP3 stream - then VPN won't work
as URL is translated at the SN server.
If you are running a LMS server - using a BBC plugin may work but
depends on the VPN.
If it happens with audio files as well as plugins then it is a network
issue.
If it only happens with GPM plugin then it is more likely to be a plugin
issue and a post on the GPM thread may be more useful.
