Radiotime/Tunein simply points you to the provider's mp3 or aac stream,
at least in this instance:
Code:
--------------------
curl
"http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s8439&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmavoice";
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/ClassicFMMP3
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/ClassicFM
--------------------
They seem to be simple IceCast http streams, with the mp3 preferred
(first in the list). It would normally be collected by the player
directly. I haven't examined in any detail, I assume just a continuous
fetch process through the established http socket.
