I just tried it in FC4 and it did not work for me. Nothing I do can get
an audio stream from www.npr.org, let us say to be opened by realplay
rather than mplayer and mplayer will not play the stream. If I send the
stream directly to realplay it plays.

Further I have never been able to affect the display of about:plugins in
firefox. It still says that it will use RealPlayer 9 even though it is
RealPlayer10 which is installed. I have made it work at times with other
systems where when I first go to the audio stream it asks me whether I
want to use RealPlayer of Windows Media Player. But on this machine I am
not asked and it just does not work.
Any advice?
