I tried to read about problems at Real.com and kept running into blank
pages with both lynx and links so am investigating ways to listen to other
streaming formats such as WMA and OGG vorbis.
Mplayer is really a monster and seems to require Xfree86 4 and all sorts
of other libraries to use even the version compiled for Redhat 7.3 (SW8.1
equiv?). It plays WMA and OGG vorbis and movies and apparently also RM
(real media) formats and DVDs. I wonder if it can be compiled to play
only audio formats so as not to need libgc for VIDIX, fontconfig, and
XFree86 4.
At one forum people reported being able to play realaudio files using
mplayer, media player classic, xine, abd Helix DNA player, or they may
have meant they could play video formats with those. There is also an
xmms and Sinek for playing OGG Vorbis streaming media, and there are
players for streaming MP3 which is patented.
I have seen internet radio stations broadcsting in a choice of up to 4
formats.
