Default New webpage on BBC iPlayer measurements / Linux

Hi,

I've just put up a new page

http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Linux/Sou...stenAgain.html

This discusses how I setup a (Ubuntu) Linux box to access the BBC iPlayer,
and provides some measurements on the results that look at some aspects of
the BBC aac/aac+ radio iPlayer.


FWIW I've just built a xubuntu box to run on an old Celeron 500MHz CPU
(spawn of Pentium II), 512MB - It's a Compaq SFF PC from the skip. The
onboard sound was pants, so found an old Aureal Vortex 2 soundcard that
had no hope of further software support in Windows and used that to feed
the workshop amplifier.

I'm running Wine and Spotify on top. It sounds excellent. What's radio?
