If you use the --stop parameter to stop recording after a set length of 
time, get_iplayer will re-mux to M4A or MP4.  If you stop recording at 
some arbitrary point with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break, you just get the FLV 
file.  The only difference is the container.  The audio and video 
streams are the same, and you should normally be able to play FLV files.
