Remuxing m4a radio files for digital audio player

Hi,

I recently bought a new Sandisk Sansa Clip+ portable audio player, and
I've updated the firmware to Rockbox to allow it to play a greater
range of files. I can now play get_iplayer radio downloads in M4A
format, rather than transcoding them to MP3 as I had to do with my old
player. But they only seek correctly if I remux them using MP4Box
using the -ipod switch (see my question on the Rockbox forums -
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=48020). Is there a setting
native to get_iplayer that will do the remuxing without additionally
passing the file through MP4Box?

I've used get_iplayer since the demise of Radio Downloader, and I've
found it to be an extremely reliable and useful program. So thanks
very much for all the hard work that's gone into it!

Ben
