Re: newpcm and RealPlayer woes
For RealPlayer 7, I've found that the key to sync problems is to go to the 'view-->preferences-->performance' area and set 'enable support old ESS drivers (linux-only)'. Sync problem solved for me anyway. Cheers, Mark Blackman Senior Sys.

newpcm and RealPlayer woes
I've been using the newpcm drivers for some time, and they seem to work with most things, but I've noticed some problems, specifically with the RealPlayer 7 Beta for linux. The sound seems to jump at the beginning of a stream, leaving it at least 3-4 seconds behind the counter and any video content. This makes video streams hard to watch, and also cuts off local streams early. Also, on remote streams, the sound clicks and squeals loudly about 1-2 seconds into the stream, and the stream stays out of sync with the RealPlayer counter the whole time. I have a PR open on this, misc/18728. All of this seems to have started happening around the time of the May 12 MFC, it looks like. I don't know enough about how newpcm works to be able to offer any advice on fixing the code, but I'd be willing to take a look at it in my spare time, and I can try any patches someone can come up with.
