Real Audio on F12

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I'm experiencing considerable frustration trying to get Real Audio files
to play. I dl'ed the x686 binary from real.com on my netbook and tried
the "realplay" command on a .ram file, but just I get this:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave      

despite the fact that PA seems to be working (i.e. the tests work, Flash
audio works etc.).

What do people use to listen to Real Audio?
