See http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/radio4/index.html as discussed at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio4/posts/Saturday-Drama-Under-Milk-Wood-in-Surround-Sound for an example. There were some earlier experimental streams but they're no longer up. I appreciate that a new program would be needed. What I don't know is if this is even practical, let alone how, etc. At present I couldn't even try the binaural streams using FireFox as it seems to still not support the method.
