Jackpot! I have it working on my ThinkPad! Problems: Had to MAKEDEV snd1. (I had thought my audio card was on the ISA and dmesg does show pcm0 audio card, but it also says that the codec is missing. Another audio device shows up on pcm1, so the MAKEDEV. Next I brought up the mixer (I use KDE) and turned up the volume for the PCM device. That resulted in actual sound out of the speaker. Nothing like the correct sound, but it was progress. Next I took the suggestion of going into View->Preferences and, in the 'Performance' page, selecting "Enable support for old OSS drivers (Linux only)". No improvement. Still garbage! I went back to that page and click 'Settings..." and selected "Disable custom sampling rates". Jackpot! I had music! Hope this works for others. I believe most of the things are specific to ThinkPads, but I suspect that the 'Performance' settings are very important. (And remembering to turn up the volume on the mixer is pretty important, too.) Also, don't forget that each user must run mimeinstall.sh and pluginstall.sh in /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer7/ if RealPlayer and Netscape are to get along. Hope this helps a few folks. R.
