Here is a fix I found on a swedish unix newsgroup:
compile the following code with gcc -shared rvpreload.c -o libnblock.so and put it in your realplayer directory
============ rvpreload.c ============================== #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntlbits.h> extern int __open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode); extern int fcntl(int fd, int cmd, long arg);
int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode) { int res, rstnblk = flags & O_NONBLOCK && !strcmp(pathname, "/dev/dsp"); res = __open(pathname, flags, mode); if (res == -1 || !rstnblk) return res; fcntl(res, F_SETFL, fcntl(res, F_GETFL, 0) & ~O_NONBLOCK); return res; } ======================================================= then move the realplayer executable in your realplayer directory to rvplayer.real and put the following script in the same library and name it rvplayer (don't forget to chmod +x it):
============ rvplayer start script ==================== #!/bin/sh LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/rvplayer5.0/libnblock.so export LD_PRELOAD exec /usr/local/rvplayer.real $* ======================================================= this works well for me. (2.1.123-125)
