I am trying to use the rvplayer 5.0 and since it is a linux binary i
had to load the linux emulator with modload /lkm/linux_mod.o (this is
my first try with the linux emulator -- i am running 2.2.1 and
linux_mod.o is the stock one.)

the program starts fine, and even starts displaying the first frame of
the sample file welcome.rm which comes with the package. However, it
immediately emits the message
   LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=5, typ=0x450(P), num=0xf not implemented
at which point the program seems rather stuck on a select doing nothing
useful. The audio device is not open after the failure.

Now the message comes from the linux_ioctl module and I have tracked it
down to a few missing defines for some audio ioctls in the linux emulation
code (the one above is GETCAPS or something similar).

Is there any hope that, if I fix the above ioctl (btw: how do i rebuild
/lkm/linux_mod.o ?) that the player works ? Has anyone had success with
it ?

	Cheers
	Luigi
