Hi,

I have installed the alsa 0.9.7 driver successfully as well as RealPlayer 8.0. 
However, when I start RealPlayer it gives the following message:

"Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it"

I am positive that no other application is using any sound device.

Some info:

I heard that you could use "artsd realplay" to get the sound working, but this 
needs the arts sound server which I really don't like (in combination with, 
e.g., XMMS). Even if I enable arts I get another error, saying it can't find 
"/dev/dsp" which is correct as I don't have such device.

Hope anyone can help,
Stoic
