[svlug] XMMS problem with realaudio files

[Mark S Bilk]

Hi folks,

I'd like to use xmms to play rm (realaudio) files, as well as 
mp3s, so I can use it and its playlist with a mix of file types.  
I'm having trouble with realaudio files.

I'm using xmms version 1.2.10 (the latest), and realaudio plugin 
RMXMMS version 0.5.1 (also the latest, but written in 2001):

  http://xmms.org/plugins.php?details=4

RMXMMS apparently consists only of file libreal.so, which 
lives in ~/.xmms/Plugins/

To do the actual work, the plugin uses Realplayer8, which 
I've installed.  (It won't use Realplayer10 at all.)

With this setup, xmms will play rm files, but none of 
its controls work.  Realplayer8 plays the same files OK, 
and its controls do work.

When I run xmms, it prints this:

  Message: fmt 5, channels: 2

It also used to print this:

  /home/msb/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: 
  unexpected identifier `gtk-alternative-button-order', 
  expected keyword - e.g. `style'

until I commented out the line with that identifier
in the gtkrc file (included below).  The realaudio problem
is the same either way.

xmms plays mp3 and ogg files fine.

The xmms bugzilla system reports no bugs for RMXMMS.

Is anyone using this combination successfully for realaudio?

Is there some other way to make xmms play realaudio?

Is there a nice GUI, playlist, and equalizer preset
selector system that works with mplayer?  (So I could
drop xmms.)

  Thanks in advance,

  Mark
