Vangelis - thanks for heads-up re: fix
BG - thanks for verifying fix

It appears BG got the attention of FFmpeg devs, so this was just a storm 
in a teacup.  To summarise:

1. If you're building from HEAD, make sure your code was pulled either 
before 2011-09-05 or after 2011-09-11.

2. If HEAD version still doesn't work with get_iplayer, check out and 
build the latest release tag from the 0.7 or 0.8 branches.

3. If you're not sure about all the git folderol, download a release 
version snapshot from http://www.ffmpeg.org/releases/.

One final bit of esoterica for any OSX MacPorts users:  The current 
ffmpeg-devel version 20110909 looks like it carries the command-line 
option glitch described in my original post.  I'm not a Macports user, 
but the git reference used in the portfile pulls code containing the 
error.  The release version 0.7.4 should work OK with get_iplayer until 
ffmpeg-devel is updated.
