There's a fix for this problem - a library needs to be downloaded and then
preloaded before the realaudio executable is run.
I can't remember where to get it from, but if you go to the Real website,
find their troubleshooting search page and type in "linux" and "2.1",
the resulting page will give you a pointer to the fix.
I've noticed, however, that under 2.2.x, there's a lot of clicking and popping
from one of the sound channels when there's network or disk activity. This
definitely didn't happen under 2.0.x - I've switched back and forth from one
kernel to the other and can replicate the problem in 2.2. Does anyone know
how to fix this? It's particularly annoying under Realaudio...
Cheers,
Paul.
