xmms streaming depends on the audio I/O plugin. Configure the plugin in xmms, and you can enable streaming and set buffer size. I think streaming can only be set in Vorbis and Mpeg layer 1/2/3 player for mp2 and mp3 streams. If you are using plugger to call xmms from galeon, you will need to setup streaming in /etc/pluggerrc or whereever you have configuration file. See man plugger and look for "stream" and "preload" flags. > > (I noticed on a friends machine running Windows that their player is smart > about downloading just enough to start playing and not overrun the slow > download speed.) > > - When I select an audio file with galeon, xmms is started, and galeon > window is blank.

Within galeon, audio/x-pn-realaudio is set to "Run with helper App"; helper is "Gnome Default"; and "Always Use" is set to "True". Setting "Gnome Default" is done in Gnome Control Center. > > I still get messages like: > > Plugger: No approperiate application for type audio/x-pn-realaudio found! > > about:plugins does show: > > audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin Realaudio-plugin resource locator rpm Yes > > So I'm not clear what the problem is. > > Thanks, > > > -- Jerome
