Hi,

I know this seems obvious and I apologize if this is unhelpful, but have you 
installed Flash?  I know there were some major security issues with Flash on 
all platforms and I think Flash support on Linux is not great.  I believe 
Sonar only ships free software which Flash definitely isn't, so I would 
guess that Flash is not included.  I don't use Sonar, so someone correct me 
if I'm wrong.  Without Flash, the BBC site won't work and it would make 
sense for Orca not to display the player since it requires Flash.  If you do 
have Flash installed, please disregard as you probably did find an Orca bug.
