Hi,

This reminds me - I read the summary on the dot and one of the things there
that I saw Malte is doing is some work based on the Real player codecs
(if I understood correctly)

As I read there - Malte thinks that there might be some problems with
Real Networks about licensing issues..

Well, few months ago I had few emails exchanged between me and Real Networks
Unix devision manager, and we "talked" about an almost similar issue - one
guy
wrote a text based Audio player which is based on Real Audio libraries. The
guys at
Real Network didn't have any problem with it - on the contrary - if memory
serves
correctly - they used it on one of their embedded versions of player (not
sure though)

So I don't really think there should be a licensing problem since the player
is freely
available, for almost any Unix (even Linux/Alpha) and Malte's work isn't
modifying
anything from their work.

Of course - I'm not working at Real Networks, but I could ask someone there
to join
this thread - if anyone wants to..

Comments?
Hetz
