NP30 plays AAC from BBC but not from Minimstreamer unless transcoded to MP3

http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_radio_three_hd

This stream is different in some respects from the 320k AAC stream that MinimStreamer decodes from the HLS stream. It uses HTTP chunked encoding and has some ICY headers. My guess is that one of these differences is a factor in making the stream playable on the NP30 but I can't be sure about this. It is also possible that the NP30 treats this specific URL specially.

Hmm, well I just plugged that url into an NP30 preset, selected it, and... it crashed the unit! So maybe that isn't the one after all.
