Take this URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00vf4rp . It has a silly animated Flash Player which canes my CPU. I'm running with Mac OS X 10.6 on a MacBook Pro 13. I am also running the latest version of Flash: 10.1.85.3.
Can I listen to BBC radio streams without using Flash?
Who's fault is this, I take it Windows users don't see high CPU usage?

The page below is the answer... It contains links to Flash (spit) and non flash media sources for all(?) their radion stations. :-)
