Consequently, they don't work. Real is aware of the problem and should have an updated version of the software available shortly. In the mean time, you can always try backing up your copy of rvplayer, and then editing it by: dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seeke7586 conv=notrunc dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seekf5986 conv=notrunc If you're lucky, you'll then have sound.... You may also need to edit it with dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seekp2554 conv=notrunc as well. Alternately, download rpopen from http://onramp.i2k.com/~jeffd/rpopen/ and pre-load it before you run rvplayer (it's a shared object which blocks rvplayer from doing the NONBLOCKing open of /dev/dsp). -- Bill
