Hmm, to me though as I said before, it really needs to be used on the more
mainstream channels and for that to be worth it, the BBC needs to up their
game engineering wise to at least as good as it was in the late 70s and
early 80s, not the leave a limiter in charge and go down the pub system they
to use these days.

Actually much of it is done (or was done) by Siemens.

The original systems were, indeed, done by 'Nemesis'. However the later
developments have tended to be a mix of in-house work and outsourcing how
it is done. Given the complexity and scale, quite an amazing achievement so
far as the iplayer is concerned.

However in the end, they can then only prodive what they are fed by the
various channels. In radio this varies from R3 (generally excellent
quality) down to level-compressed/processed stuff which other channels feed
in.

It's a moot point. How much processing is done after whoever is doing the
sound balance is happy with it. And it could equally well happen on R3
same as any other service.

Yes, the R3 FM gets 'optimoded', etc. But the R3 iplayer doesn't. The
problems with other stations tends to arise before the feeds reach a
central point for redistribution.
