realplayer 10.0.8-0.1 from debian-multimedia (a.k.a. v1.0.8.805 built with gcc 3.2.0 on Jul 18 2006) just perfectly played an mp3 file from the command line. I also opened an mp3 from iceweasel and it also played just fine. This is a Sid system with libc6 2.5-1. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
