I lam listening to RTL radio.fr. It uses Realplayer
for previous (listen

trying to get any version of WMP working under Wine, but Mplayerplugin is
working ok, but appears to be using OSS, as does RealPlayer.
Mplayer is setup to use Alsa, but Mplayerplugin's /etc/mplayerplugin.conf
indicates defaults for aRts, esd, and oss. Does anyone know if it actually
is supposed to work with Alsa.
yep. works great here. although i recently switched to ao=jack since jackd 1.0.2 no longer
segfaultks with divide by zero errors in the alsa-interface callback every 5 minutes like
previous versions.
fwiw, every line in my /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf is commented out, so its just using
whatever is in /etc/mplayer.conf. which makes getting audio running smoothly easy to
debug.
note also, that WMV and RealMedia are supported in recent versions of FFMPEG. so update
that, and your mplayer, and you cna proably remove your proprietary codecs...which could
possibly improve playback reliability..since its not using a hacked dlopen and weird
pointer tricks to run windows binaries...
