I just want the above info to help me debug a rather complex problem, details of which below.

I cant work out how to make BBC iPlayer (which i think is based on Adobe Flash) drive my sound card, which requires ASIO to work bit-perfect. NB I really need it to work on my XP Pro sp3 machine connected to my hifi so a windows 7 only solution is not ideal, though I would upgrade if it's the only way.

many thanks John

Probably off topic but:

BBC iPlayer uses FlashPlayer for live video streams and Radio streams. It also has options for Windows Media downloads and playback of video, and has options for some mp3 radio downloads and Windows streams of radio are also available.

Your location bar will show the url being used

If you use iPlayer Desktop that uses flash and Adobe Air.

Note there is a BBC messageboard and a help & faq section with some url s here
