Here is e.g. the BBC Radio 3 link:

rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra

This one you may play in VLC, Kaffeine, MPlayer ....

The way you find it out:

Open the BBC player in firefox -> CTRL-U -> a few HTML lines pop up.
Close to the bottom line you'll find:

p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram";>Click here</a> to launch 
BBC Radio 3 in Real Player.</p>

Enter the following command: "mplayer -dumpstream
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram";

and now:  "cat stream.dump" will show you:

rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra?BBC-UID=6439e06e2b970a635edc8a605060a3f146b95fecb0c0d1b424efd95f750851fe_n&SSO2-UID=

Forget the "cookie stuff" and use:

rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra

and off you go without UnRealPlayer.

With: "mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile BBC_RADIO3.ram
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra"
you may even record the live session for later listening, converting,
burning, you name it.
