[MPlayer-users] Re: Mplayer hangs with RealAudio BBC R4 LW

[Bryan Alton]

I've isolated the problem to changes to files changed between 2006-12-09
16:00:00 and 17:30:00.  The relevant CVS log entries are below.   I reckon
the problem is with the changes made by Roberto as these were to correct
another bug  and there were significant changes to demux for realAudio.   

R4 LW is unusual compared to the other BBC stations in that it uses a
different RealAudio "flavour" and is in mono.
