There are more live streams of BBC Worldservice than one, so here 
are the URLs.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live_news_au_nb.ram
and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live_infent_au_nb.ram

well, unfortuantely no gstreamer-based player will play you these 
streams (and don't even think about playing Windows Media streams 
-- they are using WMA 9 Voice, which is not supported by 
anything).  The problem is bug 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319449 which is still 
not solved.

Unfortunately, your only choice now is mplayer (or -xine based 
player -- totem-xine could work, or if you compile rhythmbox 
yourself with xine support; apparently it is not packaged for 
Ubuntu either).
