Thanks for looking at this. Here are a few things that might help:

The dump files I posted probably won't play directly from my site, you
could try downloading them and then playing them with the cmd line:
mplayer "00.44 stream.dump".

The 2 streams that I know suffer this problem are:
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra
and
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra

All the streams come from the BBC site http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/

I have tried the -ac racookwin on my system and it seems to work but
doesn't fix the garbled output problem.
