Yes - I just double checked.  For me the Tunein App always returns the
BBC ASX playlist (i.e. WMA). Not sure whether this is because AAC is not
mediatype "supported" in generic Tunein.com ( Android Tunein app finds
AAC and WMA streams and plays AAC preferentially although user can
change so Tunein knows about device specifics) or whether WMA is a
common format supported on all SB players (e.g. SB3 doesn't support AAC)
and the "formats" option is a special URL for SB users only.  Part of
the issue may also be Tunein App is the same as on mysb.com which
doesn't support transcoding and so another reason to choose common
format or perhaps a little bit of coding to minimise load (i.e. don't
bother checking player capabilities).
