I think Netscape should be passing it back to the server, but instead it thinks that 'makeram.asp?something' is an unknown file extension and so it wants to save it. - Kris

broadcast.com has mostly windows stuff? ironic ..i heard that broadcast.com uses a few hundred linux boxes to host their content ! lol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 10 Oct 1999, Kristopher Johnson wrote: I have Netscape Communicator 4.7 and RealPlayer 6.0.4.433 (Beta) installed on my potato system. I went to this page on Broadcast.com, to access a local radio station: http://www.broadcast.com/radio/Rock/WKLS/ They have a button for a RealPlayer broadcast. I hit the button, at which point Netscape asked me to save a document called makeram.asp. I saved it, and it had these contents: pnm://raads.broadcast.com/ads/firstusa/visa2GW.ra pnm://209.0.225.168/wkls.ra The first URL is a Visa ad, and the second one is the broadcast I want. I can use RealPlayer's Open Presentation... command and enter the pnm://whateverblahblahblah, and it plays the thing. But, why doesn't Netscape just do the right thing? With some experimentation, it appears that when I click the button on the web page, Netscape eventually gets something of the form http://somehost/makeram.asp?something;. Rather than passing the makeram.asp?something back to the server, Netscape wants to save it, thinking it to be an unhandled file type. Anyone have any ideas about how I can fix this? A somewhat related question: many of the things on Broadcast.com are available only in Windows Media Player formats. Is there a way to play these under Linux? - Kris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: Accessing RealPlayer broadcasts from Broadcast.com
I have Debian GNU/Linux (Slink) with a 2.2.12 kernel on a Dell Latitude CPi D300XT which has a Crystal Semiconductor CS4237B Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound card. On boot I get the message: Sound initialization started Sound Blaster Pro (8 BIT ONLY) (3.02) at 0x220 irq 5 dma 0,5 This sound card may not be fully Sound Blaster Pro compatible. In many cases there is another way to configure OSS so that it works properly with OSS (for example in 16 bit mode). Please ignore this message if you _really_ have a SB Pro. Sound initialization complete So I've probably not configured things properly. With RealAudio (using rvplayer) and the Myth2 demo I don't get proper sound, but instead hear a horrible screaching sound. MP3 sounds okay. While the sound card is a CS4237B there is only a CS4232 available in the kernerl configuration. I tried various parameters for this but all failed (sometimes I got very faint sounds, sometimes sound repeated 3 times, and always a regular click). Instead I compiled the kernel for Sound Blaster Pro with the following CONFIG options: CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y CONFIG_SOUND_SB=y CONFIG_SB_BASE=220 CONFIG_SB_IRQ=5 CONFIG_SB_DMA=0 CONFIG_SB_DMA2=5 CONFIG_SB_MPU_BASE=0 CONFIG_SB_MPU_IRQ=-1 CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=y Is there something I haven't configured here? How do I get 16 bit sound? I've had a read through the HOWTO and perhaps I need to install ALSA? Is that the only answer? Cheers, Graham
