I've explored building mplayer from source. To use RealAudio streams, RealAudio needs to be detected at the time you've run 'configure' for the build. It uses the RealAudio files for playing. So, you need the Linux RealAudio player anyway. And in my own experiences, even playing with a local realaudio file, mplayer does a _worse_ job than RealAudio. > It apparently should work but doesn't, and I don't know why.

I've tried both with and > without -DWITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS. When you ran './configure', it should have printed out a list of enabled and disabled codecs. Was realplayer in that list at all? My configure of MPlayer-0.90rc2 says this: Enabled optional drivers: Input: streaming tv-bsdbt848 edl tv dvdnav mpdvdkit2 vcd Codecs: qtx libavcodec real xanim dshow/dmo win32 libvorbis libmad Audio output: arts oss sdl mpegpes(file) Video output: xvidix bl sdl gif89a jpeg png mpegpes(file) svga aa ggi opengl dga xv x11 Disabled optional drivers: Input: tv-v4l cdda dvdread dvdcss Codecs: opendivx xvid libdv liblzo Audio output: sgi sun alsa dxr2 nas win32 Video output: zr dxr3 dxr2 directx vesa fbdev xmga mga directfb tdfxfb 3dfx Note the 'real' codec in the 'Enabled optional drivers' block. Note the 'configure' options WRT 'real', when you run './configure --help'.
