Yep, there is quite a few things we would love to ship, that we use
on a daily basis but just can't usually because of patent or other
legal reasons. I think a lot of us use valgrind for example, it's not
just multimedia.

I don't understand why people still insist on using Real Player 8 when
RealOne (aka Real Player 9) works so well with linux (*including*
Red Hat Severn.
FYI:
1) I install plugger, then (... and this is VERY important) I edit
the /etc/pluggerrc file to include the lsc extension in the realaudio
section, _making sure that the browser is NOT loaded_.
2) Next I install Realplayer One (RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-4.i386.rpm)
which is available from
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/
3) As root (naturally) I install the rpm, and the next time I load the
browser (Mozilla 1.4), RealPlayer loads as an external application.
Some sample sites are:

The news WRT Realaudio and linux is very promising:
"RealNetworks on Wednesday will announce plans
to release the source
code of its audio and video player to run on the Linux operating
system..."

Now *if only* there were similar good news WRT MP3 and MPEG
and linux!!!
