Ok, I cvsup'd, maked world, etc.  Everything is up to the minute
-current.

Now 'rvplayer welcome.rm'  displays the RealPlayer Window and the
very first scene of the sequence.  There is no sound.  The rvplayer
is running all out consuming CPU time:

  289 brian     82   0  1924K  2236K RUN     31:05 81.10% 81.10% rvplayer

but nothing is changing on the screen.  I can use the location pointer
to move about the sequence manually and the picture changes
appropriately.  When I hit the stop button I get a burst of hiss.
If I hit start again, its get stuck at the first scene. If i hit
stop I get the burst of hiss again, and so on.

cat ring.au or whatever to /dev/audio does what I would expect.

following is the output from cat /dev/sndstat.

The all out running without doing anything seems vaguely reminiscient of
a problem I ran into with qmail.  When I upgraded to some version of
-current I found qmail-send running all out but otherwise working.  I
recompiled qmail and the behavior went away.

If I rm /dev/dsp /dev/audio I get the same behavior out of rvplayer 
except it isn't running all out.  It is still stuck, but spends its
time in select.

Any ideas what is going on?
