Hi,
I downloaded realaudio player 3.0 onto my FreeBSD2.2 machine. When I
click on a realaudio file's link on Netscape, it starts the player, but
the player says "cannot open /dev/audio"
No, I don't have any audioserver process running at that time.
This problem is intermittent; sometimes it works and sometimes it
doesn't.
But when I play a realaudio file from command line, it always plays
properly,
I have a soundblastercard and my /dev/audio looks like,
crwxrwxrwx  1 bin  bin   30,   4 Mar 28 06:28 audio*

Can anybody see any problem here?
I have another FreeBSD machine on which the player works properly most
of the time.

Please reply to my address sai@cs.utah.edu, as I am not on FreeBSD
mailing lists.
Thanks in advance.
- Sai.
