Sorry for the alarm -- this is not a FreeBSD specific problem... I guess, some new way of generating the sound files triggers a bug in the latest Linux realplay binary... Carefull reading of the Real's pages, however, points to the http://realforum.real.com/cgi-bin/unixplayer/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=announcements&Number=3128&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5 Which I'm going to try tonight. = I don't know if this is an option for you but mplayer seems to play = this ok. Mplayer is a workaround :-) Unfortunately, it is not fully complete yet. There are numerous issues with GUI, and it can not play the .ram files (where the URL of the .ra file is written in plain text) -- so it can not easily be used as a complete replacement.
