The BBC have started broadcasting Radio on the internet using AAC.
AIUI these streams are encapsulated with Flash, and whilst this may
benefit the iPlayer where does this leave internet radios?

Will the BBC start broadcasting an unencapsulated stream, do they
expect internet radios to adapt or continue to use the existing WMA
stream?


I was told that they intend to deliver non-Flash AAC streams in
future, but they also said that that might be some time away from
happening, and the person who said it has since left the BBC, so I've
no idea whether they will end up delivering them or not.

"It is the sheer volume of online audio content available via
internet-connected devices which terrifies the UK radio industry. I
believe that broadband-delivered radio will explode in the years to
come, offering very local, unregulated content, as well as opening a
window to the radio stations of the world." - from the Myers Report
