OT conversion from get_iplayer to mp3 on Mint

I'd initially assume installing the package for ffmpeg(1) has pulled in
what's needed.  Try something like

    ffmpeg -i from-iplayer.mp4 -map 0:a -to 42 just-audio.mp3

The ‘-to’ just does the first 42 seconds given it's just a test.
Remove it to do the whole file.
