With RealPlayer v5, I get 'Cannot open audio device' although the RealPlayer v3 for FreeBSD works fine. Grrr... Anyone solved this problem running the RealPlayer v5 for linux? There are a few posts over the last year describing the same or similar problem, but no conclusive solutions. Just the facts: - SB AWE64 - Voxware snd drivers - running up-to-date FBSD stable - using up-to-date linux_lib 2.4 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH set for rvplayer v5 - raplayer v3 and other audio apps (e.g. amp) work fine - world writable /dev/audio - RealPlayer, Version 5.0.0.45 Other similar queries with no answer: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1507467+1509322+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-questions/19980927.freebsd-questions http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=491224+493138+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-questions/19980705.freebsd-questions http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2188360+2190134+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-questions/19980524.freebsd-questions More obscure facts: - If I open the welcome.ra file from the raplayer v3 distribution I get the 'Cannot open audio device'. - If I open the welcome.rm (an audio/video stream) then the player sort of hangs, the video is black, there is a long pause, then the progress meter moves to the end and announces that it's done. I can manually slide the slider and I can see indivual video frames, but no audio or video. - If I install the OSS drivers and try running rvplayer v5, then my system freezes up completely. No panic, just dead! Reproducible. Is this a clue? - Running a P166 w/ 96MB thanks! -david.
