Well, I've downloaded about twenty megs of Real software last week,
and all I've got for it was once the pleasure of hearing a single click
emitted by the speaker when I tried to listen to one of Herman's birds
sounds. All other files I've tried make the realplayer complain about
a missing coded. Realproduced is convinced that it is already running,
unless I run it as root - which is a rather uncomfortable, since I don't
really trust people who don't trust me with their source code. But I've
got it working, after a version. Lamay neranment went from 240 kb to 64
kb, but I still can play it.
