"Back then" some users were seeing problems with rtmpdump on fast
(mainly fibre) broadband connections.  I've never managed to reproduce
the reported problems despite getting something like 55Mbps here.  But
I did take a version of Neill's patch and incorporate it into the
version of rtmpdump that's in the get-iplayer PPAs.  People stopped
complaining about that particular problem, so I figure something that
changed resolved the problem (there were other changes in the rtmpdump
update I put together).
