I'm not sure when it became an issue, but somewhere between 2.1.131 and
2.2.0-pre4 this appeared in the linux/Documentation/Changes file for the
kernel:
RealPlayer
==========
Current releases of Real Player 5.0 depend on a bug in the sound
sub-system which is no longer there. Consequently, they don't work.
Real is aware of the problem and should have an updated version of the
software available shortly. In the mean time, you can always try
backing up your copy of rvplayer, and then editing it by:
dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=657586 conv=notrunc dd
if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=665986 conv=notrunc
If you're lucky, you'll then have sound....
