Sorry to spoil things, but the patch to ffmpeg has not solved the
problem with my Marantz CD6003. These are the tests I've done.

Ran this command following bat guano's example:

get_iplayer 10386 --get --type=radio --raw

ffmpeg -i "Bells_on_Sunday_-_27_03_2011_b00zq9t8_default.flv" -acodec
copy -absf aac_adtstoasc Bells-on-Sunday.m4a && AtomicParsley
Bells-on-Sunday.m4a --artist "BBC Radio 4" --title "Bells on Sunday"
--overWrite

Using unpatched version of ffmpeg, m4a file does not play on the Marantz
CD6003. Reports 'header error'. Did not overwrite the flv file.

Compiled ffmpeg 2011-03-31 (patched version), m4a does not play on the
Marantz CD6003. No 'header error' or 'time out' error. Shows the first
part of the title (i.e) Bells, but does not play.

Both m4a files play OK on computer e.g Audacious etc. 

Here is my output for ffmpeg:
