Even if NT4 works on alpha, i doubt that m$ and other companies released
their video & audio codecs for that arch...

dunno. probably there are little differences in interfaces, for example the
win32 realplayer DLLs don't load under linux, due to some differences in
parameters. We need to do more rev.eng. of real codecs.

You could try the TOOLS/realcodecs/ wrappers with realplayer for alpha to
see what's happening there.
