Also they're not going to open-source the realmedia codec handler bits
apparently. So no nice, smooth, reliable realmedia-xmms plugin :-(
OTOH it'd be nice to have an OSS WMA codec implementation and it looks
like they're thinking about that. A dangerous move on their part I'd
think, though.
From the sounds of things you won't be able to "apt-get install
realmedia-server" any time soon.
