Problems with trplayer.

[Tom and Esther Ward]

Well, I have the trplayer source code, but it requires an sdk from Real to
compile. I'm not exactly sure of what dependancies I need to compile the
thing.
I am also looking at installing Healix, but I think Healix still uses older
GTK widgits and is incompatible  with the gnome accessibility project.
My last alternative may be to instal the Realplayer 9.0  codecs for mplayer,
and see if I can play the real streams with that, and then record them as
wav, and use lame to mp3 them.

> Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't an open source
application. It's proprietary. You can't have the source and compile it
yourself, or tweak it, or whatever, because you can't. You can go to Real
and say I want to and sign their paper and get their SDK. But, you can't
just do it because it's proprietary.
