I guess this is the "stream" of errors I witnessed during my test...

It would be nice to get rid of a dependency, but get_iplayer
still uses mplayer for WMA downloads. Until we can reliably offload
those tasks to ffmpeg, we'll need to keep mplayer around.

As discussed last January here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2013-January/003764.html

in my own tests I have found out that 1.x builds of FFmpeg are a very reliable
means of downloading wma streams (albeit in realtime, like MPlayer...)
