OK, I was able to run realplayer with no arguments and change the
preferences to turn off XVideo. The only sound options are Alsa and OSS,
so I left it on Alsa. Now when I run a clip (same one as before) I get
video but the sound is basically white noise. After a few seconds the
sound settles into an irritating repetitive stutter and the whole
realplayer UI freezes solid and has to be killed. Even after killing it
the stutter continues until I kill the pulseaudio demon.
