Description Federico Fissore 2007-04-25 13:38:19 UTC 
binary realplayer support only oss, so it should be started wrapper by aoss on alsa system (that should be the majority, imho)

quick and dirty solution: I've modified script /opt/RealPlayer/realplay this way

# execute binary (and pass args), optionally running via catchsegv
REALPLAYBIN="/usr/bin/aoss $HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin"

hth and that's not a dup :)

Reproducible: Always

RealPlayer can also use ALSA's OSS emulation without need for alsa-oss package, and it can be used together with arts, esound, pulseaudio or jack through the respective dsp wrappers.
