Hi,

Total get_iplayer newbie, running get_iplayer v.2.82 on Linux
(Ubuntu/Lucid).

I am trying to get this radio program:

...
After "Download complete" I get more errors:
MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team

The files that download (several attempts at this) play back with
massive distortion / choppiness. You can hear that words are being
spoken but there is massive distortion - I would guess that's because of
the missing mp3 header error.

As a first stab, I suggest installing rtmpdump and trying again. get_iplayer will automatically use rtmpdump instead of flvstreamer. On my Lucid system I got garbage when downloading your programme with flvstreamer, but rtmpdump produced a playable file. I didn't see any errors from mplayer about missing MP3 headers, even in combination with flvstreamer, but I have a slightly older version of mplayer here.
