Folks,
  I've installed RealPlayer Version 8 on Mozilla
[Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225]
on a RH9 system ...
(Linux xxxxxx 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:28:34 EDT 2003 i586 i586 
i386 GNU/Linux)

And it all works just wonderfully!!

Um... well... almost... that's why I wrote the rest of this message! :)


Well, it turns out that when we go to a particular website ...
(http://www.pipedreams.org)

And press one of the "Listen" links in the archive (even "Last weeks'
show), we get this dialog box from RealPlay...
Some components are not available to provide playback of this presentation
on your system.
file:///tmp/audio.php

There's an "OK" button (it' NOT OK!! :) and a "More Info.." Button; when 
we press the latter, the dialog box vanished and we get *NO* more info.

Try it!

OK, you've tried it, or maybe you just know what all of this is about, and
if you do, then please illuminate us with what you know....
