Realplayer G2 in Debian

2000-03-08 Thread Matheson
Hey,

I'm trying to get RealPlayer G2 to play sound formats (other than the
Real audio/video format).  I want to be able to play my midis, but it
says that RealPlayer does not have the right support.

How do I get this to work?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

Hey Cameron,

check that your sound card supports midi playback - for example, I have
a SB64PCI which does not feature hardware midi playback.

If your card falls into this category then I suggest using Timidity
which is a software based midi player.

Hope this helps
Cyrus

That was it. How come I didn't think of that? 

Thanks!

 Is anyone using RealPlayer G2? I downloaded it tonight and installed it
 in my home directory. It runs when I click on a link that's a real audio
 type file, but then it responds with this error:

 Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.

 I'm not running any other apps that use the audio to my knowledge. I was
 playing few CDs earlier though. I'm also using KDE right now, so I don't
 know if that has anything to do with it.

 Any hints, tips, tricks greatly appreciated...
