Firstly, I am now of the opinion that the best way to get Proms is via
the 320k stream. To me this delivers better results in general than
any traditional broadcasting route I've used.

Re. your first point Jim, have you heard the uncompressed OGG/FLAC
broadcasts from Ceský rozhlas D-Dur?

Since you wrote "OGG/FLAC" I also tried '.ogg' and that also gets
a stream. Not checked yet, but I assume that it means that both
stream types are available, not that the stream codec changes without
the name extention altering.

Apparently it's a FLAC stream in an OGG container - this probably means more
to you than me!
Playing back with Foobar2000, the bottom left of the interface panel shows
"FLAC (a variable bit rate around 600kbps) 48000Hz stereo".

This is quite interesting -
