Neither is required.  I've added a note in the instructions to that 
effect. LAME once was used for RealAudio streams.  There may still be a 
few ancient RealAudio files lurking amongst the BBC archives, but I 
don't know of any.  VLC was provided as a convenience for users, but 
it's better if you do a full install of VLC separately.  I'm planning to 
drop both from the next generation of the Windows installer.  I didn't 
have time to get it together for the last release.  Once I do have it 
together I'll pose a RFC to the list.

No difference, though I suppose it wouldn't hurt to make the docs 
consistent.
