My version of rvplayer is rvplayer-5.0-3 and there was
no RealPlayer with the version of netscape I have. I
got the us version of Netscape with 128 bits encription (libc5 version).
I got RealAudio directly from RealAudio's site in a RPM
form, libc6 version.

I think applying this binary fix would crash something.
Real Audio does work good now until there is a net congestion.
I don't understand the reasoning in changing the sound, bug
or not until a new version of RealAudio comes. What it is
going to do is piss off a lot of potential Linux users.
We can't dictate to RealAudio, we're not their bread and
butter, winblows is.
