ffplay (part of FFmpeg) can play m3u8 URLs. What other "many command line
programs" could you be talking about?

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.
