Description:
Please see: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asfbin-bin/
To download the sources from the author's site, the http referer field should be the download page, or 404 returned.
This is why I added these lines:

source=('wgetrc'
"http://www.radioactivepages.com/downloading.ashx?file=asfbin/asfbinlinux${pkgver}.zip")
makedepends=(wget)
export WGETRC="$srcdir/wgetrc"
DLAGENTS=('http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3 -O %o %u')

Of course, I could just download it myself in build(), but then I would have to unzip it and also take no advantage of $SRCDEST

In recent makepkg (4.1?) the variable $srcdir is set later than it downloads the sources. Could you please set it earlier and make it documented?
This task depends upon

Why don't you use curl's --referer option?

DLAGENTS=('http::/usr/bin/curl -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 --referer http://www.radioactivepages.com/asfbin.aspx -o %o %u')

You're right.

Not that this was really requesting $srcdir to be set before the PKGBUILD is sourced.

I do not see the need to add this to makepkg.
