Blimey, it looks like a dog's dinner! But what emerges from the murk is
that, according to the BBC's recent clarifications, we're in the
customer category of syndication without an aggregator, and the product
we're due to receive (and that Triode's alpha plugin actually provides)
is HLS/AAC. Viewed that way, what are we missing? - is it just the 320
kbps Listen Again streams?
