Hmm some homework tells me that while I might be able to one day get .asf s to work, and there is even a linux project
working on clients for it now. just stay in it and port it to
integer will do the trick.

However, there's little chance of getting Real Audio working. Even with their excuse for an Open Source release of the server and the Helix client architecture nonsense, it would still require reverse engineering the client as it isn't covered by the open source releases. useless marketing ploy nonsense.
