realplayer

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I installed realplayerGold11 on a fedora 13 machine.
The application runs but I have no sound !
How can I fix it ?

vlc works fine !

Thank.

Just a guess but make sure the pulseaudio plug in for Realplayer is there

Or run it under padsp to redirect OSS sound interface to PA:

$ padsp realplayer

It works fine if I do padsp realplay.
How can I install the pluseaudio plugins for realplay ?
I did:
  ln -s /usr/lib/libpulsedsp.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

but it does not help.
I also cannot get the sound from firefox !

Thank for your help.

Did Realplayer ever get changed so that it is no longer spyware? I did
like software that 'phones home' and reports on me.  :-)

It would seem that realplayer has a problem with pulseaudio and the 
passthrough from alsa to pulseaudio is not taking place.

alsa-plugins-pulseaudio needs to go in then give it a go.

Sorry, I do not understand the point.

What do you mean ?
  alsa-plugins-pulseaudio is installed

Should I modify /etc/asound.conf ?

@hooks [
    {
    	func load
    	files [
    		"/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf"
    	]
    	errors false
    }
]

Thank for your help.

Although I do not run realplayer I had to do some rangling to get my tv 
tuner to work.
What I did was completely remove pulseaudio and set up alsa though 
asound.conf

The following is for Myth tv setup but the sound setup tutorial is what 
we are after here anyway

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Digital_Sound

Setting up ALSA's .asoundrc, Properly

This is the chapter of interest

I am sorry, but it should be a lot easier !!!!
I did not have to face such problem in fc10 or fc11 !

vlc works
padsp realplay works

realplay should be able to plug in the pluseaudio module readily !!!!
