According to Rupert Brun, Head of Technology for BBC Radio, the rate used for the 4.0 streaming frm the South Bank was 48kHz.

What I dont like is that one can record the stream at 44.1kHz and the sample rate conversion appears to be dont in Windows. Is there a means of actually showing the sampling rate of audio data coming in from the internet? It must be encoded in some way that this information is passed along with it, otherwise there would be a pitch change shortly followed by a buffer overflow when trying to record at 48k stream at 44.1k!

Anybody know how to get access to streaming metadata?

48 kHz is pretty well the international standard sample rate for

True I expect, but for some reason the "normal" 320kbit aac R3 web
stream is 44.1k.
