They could, technically, turn off the hypothetical synchronisation to time out recordings even without them being hosted on iPlayer.
The audio streams are, supposedly, encrypted so that they only work on BBC Sounds. In reality, they are designed not to work with the DASH stream implementation of Wi-Fi radios. The streams can be made to play on stand alone audio players.
That, by the way, is an actual technical point.
Thank you. I guess the point I was trying to make was that the EE recording from streamed BBC programmes were no different from bookmarking. They both disappear from your list when the date for retention runs out.

That doesn’t happen with normal recordings.
