The latest Banshee packages from the build service include the new internet radio plugin. Now, at the moment it officially only supports stations that can be accessed from the Banshee project radio website by Banshee itself. Not good enough for me as I only listen to BBC stations. So, here's the skinny on how to get yourself access to all the national/international stations the BBC has to offer. First, download bbc.xspf. Next, save it to ~/.gnome2/banshee/plugins/stations. Finally, restart Banshee. You should now have a new section under Radio entitled BBC Radio. Select the station you want and away you go.

Caveats: They're all in Windows Media format so you need to be able to play that (openSUSE users, use the gstreamer010* packages from PackMan). The FiveLive stream is the international version, not the UK version. That means that programming that is UK-only (such as FA Premier League commentaries) are not included. The UK version appears to only be available in Real format at the moment and (possibly because I'm not using Helix Banshee) I couldn't get Real streams to work. If it turns out I just couldn't find the right link and I track down a WM stream for the UK FiveLive stream, I'll update bbc.xspf.

Update: bbc.xspf now includes both UK and International feeds of FiveLive
