Choice of file format

[Dan Ashby]

I use

mode=flashaudio,iphone

Not everything comes out in iphone format, hence the use of flashaudio.

I stopped using flvstreamer and went over the rtmpdump and this helped with 
some download problems I was having. See some earlier posts on this problem:

.partial.flv is the default file extension before the file is finished 
downloading. flv is a flash container that ffmpeg typically dumps the audio 
/ video stream from when the download is finished.
