[OU] Opera upgrade no longer plays BBC radio player

[Peacenik]

Very bad news for lovers of BBC internet radio. Since upgrading to Opera 9.51 
I've been unable to play the BBC radio player.  The url for the BBC radio player is 

<http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod
/radio3.shtml>
  
and the shortened TinyUrl 
 
<http://tinyurl.com/bdrqb>

I use a laptop with XP PRO and have the latest flash player plugin installed, 
namely : WIN 9,0,124,0. Strangely, I can still play the Radio player in either IE or 
Firefox. 

One visible problem in Opera, is that the volume and play/pause buttons are no 
longer visible. 

Many thanks in advance for any workarounds that might be offered..
