If rtmpdump is actually hanging, I'm not sure resource starvation would 
be the culprit.  rtmpdump isn't hugely resource-intensive on a desktop 
machine, but I can't say how much more it will impact a Raspberry PI. 
All I can suggest is to launch a HD download (or something else that 
will run for a while) with get_iplayer and then run "top" in another 
terminal window to see what rtmpdump is doing.
