Well, I'm using OSS for sound card support.  I have the latest version
(3.9beta5) which proudly boasts full Linux sound emulation (in fact it
mentions RV 5 directly on their page).  I have both $path and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set just right, and I used brandelf -t Linux (JIC).  I
get no error messages, just that video will not play, and sound is very
staccato (doesn't play at all to be precise).
