Has anyone gotten real player, recently made available for linuxppc, stay
up for more than a few minutes?

I downloaded and installed it last night and my longest un-interrupted use
was about 15 minutes - usually it would suddenly crash every few minutes or
so. I am using a 28.8 connection - increasing the size of the buffer and
reducing the expected speed (to 19.2 kbps) seemed to help a little.

Also, there are signs of aliasing in the decoded output making it sound
acceptable only with the treble (on the external speakers) turned down all
the way.

System is linuxppc 2k on beige g3/400 running Windowmaker and latest
versions of stable kernel and XF86-4.

I'm glad they ported it, but it seems unusable at present.
