Embedded Audio in Linux (Realplayer)

Realplayer for Linux is a bit duff, and is prone to stutters, freezes and crashes. Better to use the Totem media codecs. To get Totem to handle your embedded audio, download the "mediaplayerconnectivity" add-on from Mozilla, and choose your applications manually.
