Subject: Playing pnm:// files using CGI and javascript

We have a large number of older pnm:// format audio files. We have been
using a Java Applet to allow our users to jump around in them while
listening. (They include associated URL events, encoded with cevents.)

Since this hasn't worked well on UNIX systems, I've been trying to use
Javascript and CGI Perl scripts instead. When the user chooses a new
time to jump to, I create an new embedded RealPlayer with CGI and pass
it an URL which is also a CGI script. The second script just outputs:

   Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio

   pnm://[server]/path?start=3D"30".

This works, but the audio is very broken up, with many dropouts of 1/10
or more seconds. Does anyone have a simpler way to do this that still
allows us to use "NOJAVA" in the <embed> tags?

TIA, Fred
