I just answered this question to another user in private e-mail:

There are some command line options for selecting a user interface, but
not for any of the streaming stuff. Saving streams to disk is a trivial
task and it would probably be better done outside of freeamp if you're
trying to create an automated system. I've got a simple perl script that
I could send you that saves data from a given stream URL to disk -- that
script could be run from a scheduled batch job...
