there appear to be no working plugins for mplayer of xmms to listen to the Real audio format used extensively on bbc.co.uk. The only option seems to be installation of Realplayer.
Anyone begs to differ ?

Is there a Linux version for Real Alternative? If not then it looks like your only option is this open source realaudio player:

Mplayer-nogui is able to play RealMedia Cook audio. Don't know if that helps, thought.

It doesn't play Realaudio.

The answer is the Helix project OK? :angry:

mplayer with the appropriate codecs (ffcook) actually does do the job for me after all !
