In particular, it says: Real Player 10 cannot be used with either Esound (note) or PulseAudio at this time. However, you can either use Real Player 8, or use MPlayer with the RealPlayer codecs. I had no success with the Mplayer codecs (I copied them to /usr/lib64/codecs), even running mplayer from the command line on a .ram file, so I tried the legacy RP8 player. It's only for i386 and the installer won't run because of missing libraries. So in a moment of insanity I configured the realplay preferences to use OSS instead of Alsa, and lo and behold it worked! The only flaw is that the volume controls have no effect, even when running under pasuspender. That was from the command line. From FF3 it still doesn't do anything (though my FF preferences say to use realplay for .ram) but at least I can run it in the standalone player. The Xine plugin claims to support .ram but it isn't working at the moment. Anyway that's another story. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
