Sometimes when RealPlayer does it's rebuffering (which is too much IMO, but that's RealPlayer), the sound repeats twice, and it occurs at the end of clips also. Also, RealPlayer has these useless options like Buffer xxx seconds before playing, and Buffer entire clip up to available memory. All give the same exact result, no matter which value of seconds I choose. Why did Real even put that option in there if it doesn't do anything? This is with RealPlayer 5.0. Actually, my ESS 1868 is working great... I can play a 3 minute clip with RealPlayer 5.0 and compile Wine in an xterm, and it plays smoothly until the end. (At which time it skips 2-3 times, but this is normal behavior.) Overall, the sound driver is working very superbly, at least for the 1868. I'm glad I kept that sound card. (Don't SoundBlaster cards have an ESS chip in them?) - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
