Proms 4.0 test streams

I'd be interested in knowing what Linux distros/browsers work (or not).
Both for my own interest and to pass on to the BBC for their info. Hope is
to make the final 4.0 systems as accessible as possible as well as as high
quality as possible.

I'd also like to give it a try myself, but almost certainly would need to
install a suitable new distro, etc, to do so. Hence reports from other
Linux users re what works/not would help me. Is Chrome vital, or will FF
work? etc.

Although a problem I have is that I'd want to be able to capture the 4.0
for later analysis. So again, any ideas on that would be welcome as I'd
have to do it via an 'internal' method like catching the 4.0 stream. I
don't have any 'surround sound' audio kit! My first thought is an alsa tee
or divert, but I don't know how easy that will be for 4.0, particularly if
I'm also converting to stereo for listening. That said, I can not bother
with 'live' listening and just deal with that later if I can capture the
audio to then process/examine/listen to later on!

Cheers,

Jim
