I posted a link to the new Radio 3 AAC 320kb/s stream a while back in
this thread, but that one is using the HDS protocol, as used by the
flash browser-based player, and I'm not aware anybody's found anything
that can play or transcode that in an LMS context yet.

I haven't yet seen a 320kb/s HLS stream. I just had a quick play with a
proxy server and the iPhone app, and that does (as one would expect) use
an HLS stream, but it is only at 128kb/s. That's interesting. Is the
only way to get “HD” Radio 3 now using the flash player, we wonder. Ho
hum.

That stream, used by the iPhone app, is at
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/llnw/bbc_radio_three.m3u8
(probably already posted by others).

Roll on the MPEG-DASH streams. That will actually be a step forward,
arguably (though won't help all the people that use non-squeezebox
devices, without the ability to insert appropriate shims in the media
server to convert the new protocols to something the existing devices
can actually play).
