X, lynx and audio

For playing  audio files like 'wav', you already have the program "play".  
Similarly, you have "rec" for recording.  To play things like RealAudio, 
there's trplayer, a command-line realmedia player.  You need the 
realplayer installed for trplayer to work.  To make a browser like lynx 
launch the right thing (eg trplayer for mp3), you need two files:  
".maincap" and ".mime.types" in your home directory.  Someone has placed 
an archive of these two files on the speakup site, in the "goodies" area, 
called "mailcapstuff.tar.gz".  This set of fiels will likely work as-is.  
If not, customize as needed.   I believe everything you need is on the 
speakup site.
