This was first announced many months ago. Currently I use Unixware
realplayer binary together with some support libraries provided by
http://www.tools.de/solaris/realplayer/
This works OK as a standalone player but can't cope with the newer
codecs (well I can't make it work.) Neither does it work as a browser
plugin any more.
I'm a bit curious as to the technical problems that still need to be
overcome when a binary built for a different operating system does a pretty
good job with only a little hackery :-)
