The metadata you see reported by RTMPDump is lost when FFmpeg converts 
the audio in the downloaded FLV file (produced by RTMPDump) into an MP3 
file.  AFAIK, FFmpeg doesn't support digging out those metadata values 
(they are packaged in a single FLV metadata "tag").  get_iplayer itself 
aggregates a more complete set of metadata from BBC resources, and that 
is what is used for tagging the MP3 file.
