The Flash/AAC streams provided by BBCiPlayer are supposed to sound
better (I believe AAC has some psychoacoustic features) than MP3 or WMA
of the same speed.

The symptom of playing for a sec and then stopping sounds like part of
an  BBCiPlayer characteristic of early v0.9 where it played, stopped and
then continued playing. V1.01 changed the buffering to eliminate it.  I
think this behaviour is/was more prevalent with 128k speed links for UK
users which I cannot test as I only get 48k
