In the FAQ:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/proms-surround-sound/inside-story
There's a link to a test player:
http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/proms/surroundtest.html

On Linux, Chrome works as expected (with 4 distinct channels), but
Firefox still mixes the 4 channels in stereo. So I would suggest to
verify the channels using the test player before listening to the live
streams. The Opera browser works because it is based on Chrome. The BBC
"experimental surround player" (is it the same since 2014?) could warn
users of non-Chrome based browsers.

It's curious hearing nearly all the applause from the front in a
supposed "surround" balance.
