I have similar problems, which I work around by converting to mp3 afterwards,
but I'm guessing there's no mp3 version available or, if there is no mp3
version available, then there's a way to tell get_iplayer to do the conversion
for me?

The output from get_iplayer with '--radiomode flashaudio1' and with the
options it itself suggested I use are below.

Clarification appreciated. Thanks!

Alexis

Here's with Andy's suggested '--radiomode flashaudio1' option:

	torchio$ ~/get_iplayer/get_iplayer --radiomode flashaudio1 --pvr xxx -o "/pub/incoming/alexis/podcasts"

And here is with the options that get_iplayer suggests (in the last output above)
to use:

	torchio$ ~/get_iplayer/get_iplayer --modes=flashaaclow,rtspaaclow,wma --pvr xxx -o "/pub/incoming/alexis/podcasts"
