one radio program in a series causes ffmpeg to throw an error - is this unusual?

a quick fix:

$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
$ get_iplayer --prefs-add --ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg

It seems that the version of ffmpeg in lucid-updates
(4:0.5.9-something) works well enough.  I'll update the ppa to remove
ffmpeg-static (which was an update against the original version of
ffmpeg).
