[MPlayer-users] ReL Can't play realaudio file

[Wm. Randolph Franklin]

Hi,

About this reply to my message about being unable to play this
real audio file:

(BTW, I know it's not a stream.  My next issue is how to store a
stream as a file; but I haven't searched the archives yet on it.)

Actually this file was created about 2 weeks ago; it's a satire of
American political events occurring as late as Dec 2002.  So it
seems that the production company uses very old SW.

However, thanks for the info.
