The mp3 radio downloads that use MPlayer.

Hi
I've just tried using FFmpeg instead of MPlayer...
Downloaded an mp3 flv file:-
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b036jqq9 --raw --force

Tried to mux it with FFmpeg:-
ffmpeg -i "Another_Country_with_Ricky_Ross_-_Lord_Huron_b036jqq9_default.flv" -c copy output.mp3


Gives errors:-
"Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0"


Maybe this is the reason that MPlayer is used instead...
Or maybe a different/more sophisticated command is needed for FFmpeg to mux the mp3 from BBC's flv files.
