It looks like the audio data's just MP3; it would be even more user friendly if it just used HTTP instead of obfuscating it with a proprietary protocol (RTMP). Then you wouldn't need Flash at all, although it does make it easier to click and listen in a web page. (Worried about people 'stealing' the audio? Don't be. I and other people have been merrily downloading Real streams for years. It's better quality if you grab it straight off air, though. My radio does that, by the way.)
