An alternative would be "no warnings 'deprecated';" to target just 
deprecation warnings.

This particular deprecation was made years ago, so it seems like someone 
would have noticed it in get_iplayer long before now. The warning 
doesn't appear on any of my systems, even with -w.  It would help if you 
provided the locations of the warnings instead of just "xxxx", an 
example command that generates the warnings, your OS and get_iplayer 
version.
