Automatic conversion of aac to m4a

My Homebrew pull request has been committed, so for any Mac + Homebrew users interested, you can install ffmpeg HEAD as follows:

pull down latest formula:
# brew update

if you don't have ffmpeg 0.6.1 installed, install it in order to get all the dependencies
# brew install ffmpeg

once you have ffmpeg 0.6.1 installed, remove it and install HEAD version:
# brew rm ffmpeg
# brew install ffmpeg --HEAD --ignore-dependencies

The --ignore-dependencies arg will prevent installation of any HEAD versions of dependencies (only pertains to x264 at this time)

It's slightly unfortunate if the release version of ffmpeg won't do the trick.  I've made a pull request to update the ffmpeg install formula for Homebrew to point to the new git repository.  The updated formula - when published - will be of some help to Mac users, at least those who use Homebrew.  FWIW, Homebrew makes it fairly easy to build Mac versions of get_iplayer dependencies.
