Yeah, I ran into that problem two years ago....

Have you run sndconfig to set up the sound card? There is a list of
audio devices in the docs -- unfortunately, since Real hasn't released
(AFAIK) a RH6-certified RealProducerPlus, I haven't moved to G2, nor
have I moved from RH 5.2 to RH6. I am currently running RealAudio
Server 3.0 with its encoder on RH 5.2 -- and that combination is solid
as a rock.

As I said, my setup (which has served me very well) is RH5.2 plus
RealAudio Server 3.0 + raenc 3.0. Haven't moved to G2+RH6+RP+ as of
yet. I did have to recompile my kernel due to an obscure sound driver
bug related to my motherboard's chipset, but that wasn't a big deal.
