Currently the best way of using BBC iplayer is a perl script called
get_iplayer which downloads DRM-free mp4 files intended for
mobile-devices. I don't think it's in ports, but you can download it as
a single file, which self-upgrades. It can access other interfaces for
radio programmes too. The last time I checked the  official iplayer
application didn't install under wine.

The online version is flash-based and should work with anything that
supports flash - I still  use windows firefox under wine, but it
probably will work with linux flash under emulation.
