You did well to find him. Many of us have been using his blog entry of
24/9/14 and his comment response of 29/9/14 to make sense of what has
been going on at the BBC's end. But there's still a lot of confusion
around, such as codecs (now AAC or MP3), streaming protocols (now HLS,
HDS, SHOUTcast and planned DASH), and for Squeezeboxes what we can
expect of iPlayer in its LMS plugin and applet incarnations. Hopefully
Triode and bpa will steward us through the stormy seas. Meanwhile, God
help us!
