I have a similar setup (replace the AWE64 with an AWE32) and I get
similar results.  For every video or audio clip I play that same 'ioctl'
message pops up.  Only the fd=# changes occasionally.  Most clips play
fine, but a few exhibit that 1 second intro before it core dumps.  When
this happens the error message to the terminal window is :
	
	shmget: Cannot allocate memory

and doing a "gdb -c realplay.core"  reports :

	Core was generated by `realplay'.
	Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
	#0  0x288a2679 in ?? ()  

.
.
.

While I have been testing this it has gotten worse.  Now no video clips
will play, only audio.  I unloaded the linux.ko module and reloaded it
with no effect.  Hmm?  Seems I'm probably causing more confusion here. 
I better bow out and let the experts handle this.

One last comment though, the Linux version of rvplayer 5.0 is still
working fine after all this.  Of, course it does not do any G2 encoded
files/streams.
