The other part of the problem was that the obsolete ffmpeg carried the 0.8 
libav version number, but it was really a older version of ffmpeg from before 
the great schism. The latest version of get_iplayer has workarounds, though 
they won't be necessary for stretch, thankfully.

However: As get_iplayer's maintainer, I implore anyone listening, in the name 
of all that is holy: do not release get_iplayer with stretch. It is far too 
volatile, and has just been scuppered again by the BBC. I have enough headaches 
from Ubuntu promulgating obsolete versions - please don't add to them. Keeping 
get_iplayer out of jessie was the right move, and it's still the right move for 
stretch.
