Did some double checking - it seems for UK R3 only there was/is a
special Shoutcast 320Kb AAC stream.

The URL that BBC says is the one to use is below - perhaps a UK user can
test if it is stil alive as a non-UK user I can't test. 
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/http-icy-aac-lc-a/format/pls/proto/http/transferformat/hls/vpid/bbc_radio_three.pls

The 2015 Blog entry about this stream is here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/d031b300-721a-4df5-8506-723303f2887e
- BBC planned for it to go away with other Shoutcast streams once enough
internet radio devices implemented HLS and DASH.

DASH streams only have one URL.  With DASH, between the server and the
player , the "best" speed is supposed to be chosen depending quality of
network link and range of available bitrates.  The Plugin's DASH
implementation only does a simple impementation - provides a Plugin
Setting to "use highest bitrate" or " use lowest bitrate".  If "highest"
results in stuttering change down to "lowest" setting.
