There are two parts to an audio stream.
1. The transport mechanism or protocols - how to endcoded audio data is
delivered from the source
2. The encoding of the audio data - the codec.

For BBC there are multiple transport protocols available - http, DASH,
HLS (for Apple), Flash (RTMP), HDS. These are not audio encoding
formats.

The BBC uses AAC encoding for all the above transports except for http
shoutcast streams which are MP3 except for the  HD http stream for R3
which is AAC over http.

So AAC is what you should see when playing BBC DASH & HLS streams except
when you are playing the lesser quality shoutcast.
