How about get_iplayer? This can download and stream Radio Four programs with no issues. I think it does need mplayer or something similar to play the actual sound. Can obviously also do TV and has PVR like functionality too.

I'm looking for a way to (simply) play BBC Radio 4 and other BBC stations on my desktop machine. I used to use radiotray but updating to xubuntu 14.04 seems to have broken that completely (it was always a *bit* flakey).
I don't want a full blown music player really, though one that's easy to configure to play BBC would be OK.
I *definitely* don't want a list of thousands of stations to select from which rarely includes BBC anyway, I just want to be able to enter a BBC radio URL and hear the radio.
I have clementine installed but I can't see how to get that to play URLs, it looks like it should but seems to be broken when you try it. Like so many other players I've found.
