[Nathan Moschkin <ironywrit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those of us who have both KDE and Gnome systems installed, or 
perhaps even for anyone ... getting RealPlayer to work with audio 
required that I go tromping through the internet to eventually stumble 
upon a script that starts RealPlayer under artsdsp (for a couple of 
reasons, one being that RealPlayer, by default, is launching from a 
script, now...)

Here's the script I found, online.  Apparently it's been a problem since 
version 9...

This starts real player using the artsdsp ... it definitely works, and 
I'm using Gnome as my desktop environment.
