artsdsp is a script. The error message "artsdsp works only for binaries" comes from the file check: # setup artsdsp preload to hijack calls made to /dev/dsp origargs="$@" binary=`which $1` machine=`uname -m` set `file -L $binary` case $2 in ELF) ;; *) echo "artsdsp works only for binaries" exit 1 esac The check fails for wrapper script: file -L /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox: POSIX shell script text executable file -L /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped a possible workaround is to use readlink. I don't have realplayer but I'll bet this is a similar trick. cheers, Fathi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
