One can use the freeware "FLV Extract" (courtesy of Moitah)
http://www.moitah.net/download/latest/FLV_Extract.zip
to demux losslessly (= extract) the audio mp3 stream from
the downloaded .flv file
If you use the GUI (.NET Framework 2.0 is needed for WinXP SP2+),
check only the "Audio" option and just drag and drop the FLV file onto the GUI;
MP3 file will be stored in the same directory.
If you are comfortable with the CLI version (that's also included inside the .zip),
then a template command (run from the Command Prompt Window or
written in the form of a .bat file) would be:
FLVExtractCL -a "foo.flv"

I used RTMPDumpHelper 1.21 & Firefox ESR 24.8.0. When I went to the sample URL,
I first made sure that "Best (128kbps) Music Quality" was ticked and started playback of the first song,
"Teri Duniya Se Door (Revival)"; rtmpdump downloaded this (via rtmpe protocol) as a file named "-5ccdQc3.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://r.saavncdn.com:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand" -f "WIN 14,0,0,179" -W "http://static.saavncdn.com/dplayer/5.inviplayer.swf" -p "http://www.saavn.com" -C O:1 -C O:0 -y "mp3:audios/ph/8/-/-5ccdQc3" -o "-5ccdQc3.flv"
Upon mp3 extraction, MediaInfo reports the following:
Complete name : D:\RTMPDumpHelper\-5ccdQc3.mp3
Format : MPEG Audio
File size : 1.45 MiB
Duration : 3mn 10s
Overall bit rate : 64.0 Kbps
Writing library : LAME3.98b
Audio
Format : MPEG Audio
Format version : Version 2
Format profile : Layer 3
Duration : 3mn 10s
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 64.0 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 24.0 KHz
Compression mode : Lossy
Stream size : 1.45 MiB (100%)
Writing library : LAME3.98b
Encoding settings : -m s -V 4 -q 2 -lowpass 11 -b 64
So, there is NOTHING WRONG with the saavn plugin - the highest quality offered for
this specific album is just 64 kbps (so the "Best" setting in the browser is in reality
the same as the "Good" one...:? )

Maybe I should have my ears checked.. :-)
As you might have understood by now, your ears are perfectly fine ;-)
