    The BBC website uses RealPlayer -- the package you are looking for is
    multimedia/linux-realplayer. Most online radio is streaming mp3's
    (i.e. .m3u format) For those, xmms is good.

    Installing RealPlayer involves mundo hoop-jumping. The download page
    is, at this time, http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html

    Good luck :p
