Unfortunately that's not massively practical. People who write tools
like get_iplayer are too scared to include explicit references to
rtmpdump and --swfVfy; they use flvstreamer instead and leave the task
of actually making things _work_ to the end-user.
If we could just enable SWF Verification (or have it default to being
enabled) without having to re-provide the SWF URL, that would be a lot
easier.
