I apologise if this has been covered before but I couldn't find it.

If a driver manufacturer quotes a continuous rate, a program rate and a peak rate, is the continous rate the same as the rms rate?

Exactly the same.. no, but close enough for horse shoes and hand grenades.

In short, no. AES ratings are the norm now, and are measured using a standard which is freely available to read. It's essentially application of a shaped noise for a certain period. It is not the same as the RMS limit you need to use to prevent coils burning.
