I've applied Shevek's patch (with line breaks and whitespace fixup) to my get_iplayer repo at github:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer

Click "history" and look at the recent commits to see exactly what changed.

The direct route to HEAD version is:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/raw/master/get_iplayer

This has Shevek's patch and my patch that implements a --aactomp3 command line option to force transcoding to MP3 instead of muxing to M4A, for those who need it.  If you want to try just Shevek's patch, direct route is:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/raw/50dcc65b09fe8fadb42d352d00b1674ee15741db/get_iplayer

In either case, just save the file from your browser and use it to replace your current get_iplayer(.pl) file.  Remember that this patched version requires a recent build of ffmpeg.  Current release version 0.6.2 will not work.
