Re: Sound problems with Realplayer and netscape flash plugin

[Daniel Manley <tubadanm@mailandnews.com>]

More info on RealPlayer...

I do get sound out of it if and only if I try:  changing the mod to something other than OSS; hit play
(error popup about device busy); change the mode back to OSS (with custom sampling rates disabled);
hitting play.  Subsequent plays without changing from OSS result in failures.  With those settings, the
trademark realplayer chime sounds ok, but I tried to play a south park episode (from www.spdownloads.com)
using the same steps and the sound is really distored.  Is it a bug with Real?
