Then what you are seeing is RealPlayer using OSS and OSS not using
dmix/asym.  See my other post to try to get OSS to use dmix/asym.
Pushing OSS through dmix will basically be your only option, short of
using a second soundcard for RealPlayer.  As far as I'm aware, there's
no way to get RealPlayer to use anything but OSS.  As I haven't used
RealPlayer in a long time, I welcome any corrections.
