Even mplayer will play it if you get past the message about ~/.mplayer/subfont.tttf. If you can play it, the application works over the network. I have been known to record the news from Oaxaca, México and burn a CD for friends from there. It is a kind of poke in the ribs to get them on the Internet. It hasn't worked yet but I keep trying :). If realplayer won't work with firefox, the relationship between firefox preferences > download actions and audio/x-pn-realaudio is screwed up. You should be able to point the firefox file action to anything that will play a realaudio file type. This is also true for mp3 file actions. Before I did any of this, I added links to nphelix.so and nphelix.xpt in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins and /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins I don't know which one made the difference. I tweaked until I could see the plugins in mozilla. I am also using the default libmap.conf for the version [56]-stable. At any rate, firefox-1.5_5,1 will play *.ram files on all of my systems (with sound cards, speakers and either 5-stable or 6-stable) when I visit websites with realaudio *.ram files. The only problem is that the realaudio sites I listen to are folklóric sites from Columbia and Venezuela. This includes winamp playlists using xmms. I haven't made mozilla work but then I don't miss the capability either :).
