[K12OSN] "realPlayer 10 for Linux is here"

[Gustav J Kramer]

Also FWIW, it seems to me that client sound with RealPlayer 10 is not
possible with the packaged (rpm) version.  It may be possible if you
compile it yourself and include the necessary options.  If I recall
correctly RealPlayer 8 worked fine on the clients once you configured
the output for esd (or possibly gstreamer?).  The option was available
under one of the tabs (Hardware?) reached via Tools -> Preferences.
With RP 10 access to this option was not packaged.

As I see it, that leaves two options:  Stick with RP8, if you can find
it; or, compile/package RP 10 yourself.

Regards,
