If the Wikipedia page about M3U is accurate then the m3u8 file will
just be a text file including a URL to an audio stream. If it's an
MP3 audio stream, then that can probably be copied manually to use
with any common command-line MP3 player (I use mpg123 or mpg321).

But that BBC URL gives me 403 Forbidden, so I guess it's region
restricted and as such I haven't seen for myself. Indeed I don't
think I've seen a M3U(8) file before.
