Mozilla and real audio...

[Jerry McBride]

I got it... It's a classic OSS vs. ARTS issue... here's the poop...

After installing REALPLAYER 8 for Unix on customers laptop... Mozilla fails to
play *.ram files while running KDE desktop.

The fix... After adding a helper app to Mozilla with the correct mime type of:
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin

and pointing to /usr/lib/RealAudio8/realplaywrapper

I then moved to /usr/lib/RealAudio8 and created the following script named:
realplaywrapper

#!/bin/bash

artsdsp /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/realplay.exe $1

#end of script.

Do a chmod +x on the script...

Then close mozilla, open it again and go play some *.ram links...

It's a kludge... but the man with the money is extremely happy...

:')
