Exclamation Progress towards streaming BBC Radio feeds in AAC

So, the chaps working on get_iplayer have reached the point where they can get the higher quality AAC radio streams from the BBC functioning, even though they are wrapped up in "Flash" protocol.

The stream can be piped into mplayer, which I recall is used by AlienBBC, so in theory this opens up the way to get the 128/196kbit AAC streams into SqueezCenter.

However, the developer can't get streaming working on Windows and obviously they haven't hooked up mplayer to SqueezeCenter.

Has a poke about myself, but am thinking others may be able to help...
