Playing BBC R3 FLAC files recorded by nightly VLC

Well, that's funny. I've been playing Proms on the iPlayer site
(nothing to do with GIP) and recording the stream with Audacity since
the Proms started (as I live in Oz, playing and recording a live
stream is impractical given the time difference).

MediaInfo shows a constant bit rate of 1411 kb/s, a sampling rate of
44.1 kHz and a bit depth of 16.

If you then do the same for a live Prom, you get exactly the same
results from MediaInfo,

That convinces me.
