Using FLAC wil give better quality if the audio stream delivers it,
however BBC streams are low bit rate so quality is not high so FLAc is
unlikely to be useful.

In terms of file types
RTSP->WAV - just runs Mplayer
RTSP->FLAC - runs MPlayer, socketwrapper and FLAC
RTSP->MP3 - runs Mplayer, socketwrapper and LAME
So diabling FLAC and WAV just leaves MP3 to work.
Your initial problem is that your FLAC installation fails to start for
some reason - as seen in your latest log. 

Code:
--------------------
    "ERROR initializing encoder
  state = FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_FATAL_ERROR_WHILE_WRITING
  
--------------------

Socketwrapper seems to be fine as you hear BBC using LAME. RTSP->WAV
should work but there may be another filetypes setting enabled which
converts WAV to FLAC so that could be why RTSP->WAV fails.
