Is there a way of combining the first two steps? In other words, record the audio feed directly from the radio to the computer? Furthermore, is there a way of doing that on a timer so that I could set the recording to take place over a predefined time interval?

Sure...you'll need so kind of output from your reciever to your computer (other than speaker outputs). As most recievers don't have an actual radio output, the best way around this is to put a tape in the recorder and hit pause and record. This will send a signal to the tape's output but won't record to the tape. Run a cable between the tape deck and your computer (you'll need an adapter from the RCA jacks to your sound cards miniplug) and start recording.
As for automation, I suppose you could configure a macro to somehow work as a timer -- but I honestly don't know if that would work or not. I've never seen a recording program configured in such a way. I've got sound apps that can be configured for automation via MIDI or SMPTE timecode, but I can't configure anything that I have to work on a seperate timer.
And keep in mind that keeping your tape deck on pause and record will put strain on the tape in the recorder. So if your reciever has an actual radio output, use it.
