I wanted to see if puppy supports playing real audio files since it would qualify for me as one of those applications needed for daily use.
I went to the RealAudio test site: service.real.com/realplayer/test/
depending of which realAudio version I attempt to play, I get an error that I'm missing one of the following libraries:
drv4.so.6.0
sipr.so.6.0
drv3.so.6.0
so it looks like no support for RealAudio is provided
Can't play RealAudio in Puppy: missing libraries?
they all (video and audio) play ok on my machine
but i have mplayer codecs installed

Thanks for that url!
I'm running a pristine Puppy 1.0.3, the bottom half of that page has four RealAudio samples. I'm on dialup so I chose the slowest one, the last two work, the first two are missing "sipr.so.6.0".
RealVideo needed either sipr.so.6.0 and drv3.so.6.0, or drv4.so.6.0.
...how big are these? maybe I could consider putting them in live-CD?
at least the sipr.so.6.0.

saw your post in the news regarding making an extra codec package available . that's a great idea.
To me it's a 11M well spent because I want to be able play all kinds of media (in fact I want to be bale to play all kind of video in addition to audio).
I may be better off biting the bullet and installing MPlayer but I need to play with both before I decide.
