According to posts on the LAU list this morning, the BBC are now using WMA rather than Realmedia for their streams. Saying that though, I'm listening to the BBC at the moment on FC2 using Opera, and Realplayer. Firefox is setup with Mplayerplug-in, but you have to do extra work to get Opera to use Mplayerplugin, and I havn't bothered. Recently though with the latest Opera version on Etch, I've recently been getting some strange output when listening to the BBC. Echoes, and breaks in the transmission. I'm on dialup, and the breaks are the sort of thing I get when I go to a site that streams at a high bandwidth, which I can't handle.
