I use this as a helper application called by netscape
instead of using the plugin. I am using this with the latest
stable version of Netscape and Debian 2.0. It may give some
problems with older versions due to memory problems. With
older versions, I had to pad the file to be as long as the
Real Audio executable to get it to work. Redirection to
/dev/null keeps messages from popping up in netscape, due
to output from the programs.
The script only tries to stop network audio
it it is running. It also does not restart
network audio if rvplayer is still running
somewhere. This prevents problems with multiple
launches of Real Audio from netscape.
