Description
The BBC iplayer now works, however the BBC's 'listen again' feature (which allows users to listen to any radio show from the last 7 days) still does not. Nor is there an easily available bug fix for this. This is dissuading people from switching to ubuntu, this should run as standard.

For those not in the know, this is a Realplayer codec.

Mplayer has reverse-engineered support. *Hopefully* this will become available in xine (at least that's why it doesn't work in Amarok at the moment).

I'd say the majority of your ubuntu crowd probably isn't your BBC type crowd anyway.

And a better approach would be to hound BBC to fix their site
