I can listen to it by just clicking on the "listen" link at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2, using the realplayer package; this is
not standard Debian, but you can get it if you put in
/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

Replace "sid" by the name of your distribution. Then do apt-get
update.

Description (from apt-cache show realplayer):

  RealPlayer 10 for Linux is based on the open source Helix
  player.
  RealPlayer 10 supports RealAudio, RealVideo 10, MP3, Ogg Vorbis
  and Theora, H263, AAC and more. Get ready for accelerated video,
  full screen playback,  and a lot more to play.
