I found the answer. First I installed the latest realplayer10. Then in
mozilla in Preferences>Navigator>Helper-Applications I had to do the settings
to point for video to ~/Realplayer/realplay

This then will do the settings as well for netscape and firefox where
strangely I cannot find such helper-application. After this the BBC Radio
Player works again.

Does it say anywhere settings for netscpe or firefox have to be done in
mozilla? I have not looked for it.
