    Could this cause problems
    Of course not. Pulseaudio deals with oss, alsa, etc.

    The only advantage of RealPlayer is 'legal' codecs - it is cheap adware. It drove me mad with advertisement popups on Windows...

    Haven't used it on Windows for years, but didn't they change their ways a couple of years ago? They used to be really bad, but I like the fact they used Helix devs to make a lightweight Linux version.

    Well sorry to tell you... that the Linux version is *not* a bloatware/ adware
    It's a slim lightweight player that now support the MS codecs.

    Is there a deb package yet? I do find it strange that they make an rpm package, but not a deb. Debian/Ubuntu have been no.1 for years now.

    question!

    is there a way to play .rm files without using RealPlayer? Or is using this program the only way?

    How soon we forget or original friends. When I first started using Linux Real Player was really the only Media Player that even supported Linux.

    Believe it or not there was a very early version of Windows Media Player you could get working on Linux even though it was for Unix.

    But if you wanted to play any video Real was the only company that supported Linux back then.

    Their Linux player is nice, its not adware or spyware. Right away everyone has to bash it and they are giviing you a legal way to play windows media now which everyone is always crying about being legal here.

    Downloaded it, installed it, tested it, used it.

    Works OK.

    Thank you and goodnight!

    (btw in the Windows version you can turn off all the popups etc.)
