Hi, the main prob with Realplayer is, that it is not using the sound server from the Desktop env. (e.g. KDE). And the desktop sound servers are using /dev/dsp as well, so this device is busy while RP tries to play. Under KDE there is one very nice solution I currently use: "kickarts" A nice Applet, en or disable arts with one click! Disable to use RP, enable for the rest like xine, mplayer, totem, etc. I don't know if there is an equivalent for gnome.
