Motivation: The podcatcher downloads every enclosure that every feed puts out there.

I wanted to be able to tell it to just download audio enclosures and nothing more.

I'm burning this in on my server before releasing, this is hard code to monitor when it doesn't work, also taking a look at a few other things in the aggregator.
