Then at some point WSR got the "Audio Factory" treament, to be more on a par with the rest of the BBC Radio stations,> and thus two stream quality variants were created: HE-AACv1@96kbps/48kHz (*med modes in GiP) and HE-AACv1@48kbps /48kHz (*low modes in GiP); these are equally available to UK/non-UK audiences, i.e. if in the UK you can't get > 96kbps...

But, returning on topic,
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p05bdb8p -i | FindStr versions =>
versions: original,podcast
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p05bdb8p -i | FindStr modes =>
modes: original: dafmed1,dafmed2,dafmed3,dafmed4,daflow1,daflow2,daflow
3,daflow4,hafmed1,hafmed2,haflow1,haflow2,hlsaacmed1,hlsaaclow1
which is consistent with what I wrote earlier...
But for the "podcast" version (not the MP3 file, this is an .m4a file fetched by GiP) it would appear they apply geo-filtering :-(
verpids: original: p05bdbfp verpids: podcast: p05c1hf1
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/pc/vpid/p05c1hf1
yields different stream data based on geo-location; no signs of dashhigh/dashstd/hlsaacstd over here; but then again, who really wants "talk-radio" @320kbps? (well, some, like Jim web, do, I think even 96kbps is superfluous...)
The thread was about World Service and it is some time since you wrote that. It is possible things have changed in the mean time. For non-World Service have you tried hafhigh and hafstd (whether anyone wants it or not)?
