There are no special binaries for BBCiPlayer.   BBC uses MP3 & AAC
encoding. For older player (e.g. SB3) AAC needs to be transcoded and
standard LMS decoder faad is used in this case. 

OP may be confused about BBCiPlayer plugin and playHLS plugin.  BBC has
DASH and HLS streams but BBCiPlayer plugin playing BBC HLS streams (a
subset of generic HLS) does not require any special executable.  
The PlayHLS V1.x plugin uses ffmpeg to playback generic HLS streams -
PlayHLS V2.x is no longer dependent on ffmpeg and all playback is Perl
based and native LMS.
