BBCiPlayer Live & Listen Again streams now use DASH.  HLS is 2nd choice
and only available for Live stream. LMS transcode in both cases.
There are still Live "normal" MP3 streams for all stations (i.e.
national, regional, local and World)  and for R3 UK 320kbs AAC.
Some Listen Again programs are only available in MP3 as podcasts - no
transcoding.

The variety of formats can lead to confusion especially if a user saves
a Favorite - they may not be sure which format was chosen.
