Just for a record: RealPlayer for Linux also has this bug. I've
looked through the Preferences dialog, and it doesn't seem to have a
"play in separate thread" flag, while the program runs as several
processes. Probably just a bad coding. The version is 8.0.3.421,
linux-2.0-libc6-i386-gcc2.95. I don't think that filing a bug report to
Real would help anything.
