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.
