I noticed a lousy pop-up for the latest version of realplayer when I use 
its player on 'doze. So, that's not a suprise.

Wow, thanks. I'm not C*-literate, though I see what you mean. So, then, 
it's not mis-id'ing the client, but it's a codec problem..??

So maybe there'll be a new set of codecs that'll include this? Hmm. Does 
the news on the mplayer site about a developer leaving the project 
impact this? Actually, I don't know if that's a good question... but 
asked in good spirit. '-)

Thanks for your help.
