Sorry, it took me a while to figure out why I was having problems with the Real Video Player. I finally got it to work by forgetting about the oss rpm drivers and ended up compiling sound as a module and setting up isapnptools for my awe 64 card. After that it now works fine. lsayre wrote:
Hello Edward;
You are right in that the CPU usage meter goes straight to 100%, but when paused it drops to zero, then when play is depressed again it goes straight to 100% CPU usage again, while another snippet of sound is heard.
I noticed that you and I both have the Millenium I video card, and a similar set-up and equipment (except my processor is the Cyrix P200+). I have only 32 meg of ram, to your 64, but since its happening the same way with 64 meg, I don't think its a memory problem. Since we both experience the same problem with different CPU's, I doubt the CPU is at fault. Could it be a video card conflict problem?
Is anyone using an original Millenium video card having this problem, or on the contrary, is anyone in this category successfully using RealAudio 5.0 (the free version) with no problems?

Yes, I know how you feel. I am experiencing the same problems. But sorry I'm still trying to figure it out. I don't think it's the sound though as it will do the same thing with or without the sound driver loaded. I've noticed watching my cpu usage indicator that it seems to continue to climb up and up when the lock occurs. Also if you pause and press play, it will go again for a few seconds. I'm not an expert but it looks like it's getting stuck in a loop for some reason.
If anyone has any ideas even experimental, it would be gladly accepted and appreciated.
OS - Linux, SuSE 5.2 dist. CPU K6-200 Sound Card - Sound Blaster AWE 64 Mem. - 64M SDRAM OSS install and running fine for other programs. Graphics - Matrox Milliemum I using svga x-server.
Thanks in advance

I installed RealAudio, and followed all of the set-up information.
When I log onto a RealAudio broadcast, I hear the typical 20 second commercial prior to the live stream, but then about 1 to 1.5 seconds into the live stream sound stops, and the live stream clock stops dead also.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a fix?
PS: My sound card is a SB AWE32 PnP, using the OSS driver. It works fine for everything else I've tried it with.
