Scratch what I said previously, the format of the URLs has changed and
the 320K streams are still available. Just posted the info here:

Not necessarily. If anything, I think the availability of 320K TV
streams in the first place was probably the cock-up, because to my
knowledge they were never directly used by any iPlayer product. It may
have been on the to-do list for some time to stop duplicate 320K streams
being sent to the CDN, taking up additional disk space for no benefit,
and someone has only just gotten round to it.
I say this because get_iplayer was only able to access them by changing
part of a playlist URL, i.e. the BBC mediaselector APIs didn't advertise
the availability of such streams.
