What does the cryptic crossword clue "Illicit recordings of Welsh Greens broadcast (5)" mean?

The definition is "Illicit recordings". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Homophone (broadcast) of LEEKS (vegetables, or “greens”, which are a national symbol of Wales). The definition seems a bit loose – surely “leak” isn’t the actual recording, legal or not, but the act of releasing it in public? But it’s close enough. The answer is LEAKS.
