If only to help bugfix RealPlayer, which I need to play BBC Radio
streams? (whatever happened to their Ogg Vorbis trials..)

Both Rawhide's 1.0.5.757 (experimental) and the latest stable build from
HelixCommunity (1.0.6.1112) have the stuttering problem. The latest
current build (1.1.0.1188) plays sound alright. All three have color
problems playing a Theora video, which funnily the Helix Player from FC4
plays fine.
