If you can play it, the application works over the network. I have been=20 known to record the news from Oaxaca, M=E9xico and burn a CD for friends=20 from there. It is a kind of poke in the ribs to get them on the=20 Internet. It hasn't worked yet but I keep trying :). If realplayer won't work with firefox, the relationship between firefox=20 preferences > download actions and audio/x-pn-realaudio is screwed up.=20 You should be able to point the firefox file action to anything that=20 will play a realaudio file type. This is also true for mp3 file=20 actions. Before I did any of this, I added links to nphelix.so and nphelix.xpt=20 in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins=20 and /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins I don't know which one made the difference. I tweaked until I could see=20 the plugins in mozilla. I am also using the default libmap.conf for the=20 version [56]-stable. At any rate, firefox-1.5_5,1 will play *.ram files on all of my systems=20 (with sound cards, speakers and either 5-stable or 6-stable) when I=20 visit websites with realaudio *.ram files. The only problem is that the=20 realaudio sites I listen to are folkl=F3ric sites from Columbia and=20 Venezuela. This includes winamp playlists using xmms. I haven't made mozilla work but then I don't miss the capability=20 either :).
