Well I have a solution, it's not a command line program but does everything else I need - it's called radiotray.
I think it confirms my faith in the old Unix philosophy of small tools that do one thing well. *All* it does is play internet radio streams, no attempt at a GUI (it's a tray app, hence its name), the whole interface is just a way to build a list of station names and a way to select one.
It plays the BBC's .asx streams 'out of the box'.
It doesn't for me so can somebody help point me in the right direction please?
It plays 'Classic Rock' ok but tells me 'Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin' when trying the Radio 4 link Chris G posted earlier.
But I'm stumped when it comes to deciding *which* plugin I need. I've just installed a load of them in the hope that it would solve the problem but it didn't.
