Worked fine here *but* using RTMPDump, *not* FLVStreamer to produce MP3
output. (The get code's changed to 10976 BTW.):

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --type=radio --get 10976
Matches:
10976:  Gardeners' Question Time - Alnwick Castle, BBC Radio 4,

I'm not sure what the 'Core dumped ;)' line signifies. I've not noticed
it before, but it doesn't seem to have affected the final output.
