.ra files are the actual RealAudio sound file. Streaming RealAudio uses .ram
files embedded on the web page. The .ram file is nothing more than a list of
URL's that point to the .ra files. When streaming those files are downloaded
and pipe'd to the RAPlayer. That's why StreamRA complains that it can�t find
any URL's in chicken.ra

Try viewing the Art Bell page where you got the chicken.ra file. The
loudspeaker icons are .ram files. The disk icons are .ra files. You need to
click the loudspeaker icon to start the streaming. Or you can download the
.ram file and start the script from shell.

And the MimePrefs settings are:
MIME type Cyclegadget "audio/" Stringgadget "x-pn-realaudio"
Extensions "ram"
View selected
Viewer "rx <path>streamRA.rx %f"

Hope this helps

    Rolf
