When I try to listen to real audio, realplay pops up a panel
saying: "Cannot open the audio device. Another application
may be using it."

The panel has two buttons, "OK" and "More Info..." Clicking either
closes the panel and nothing else happens. No errors at reported
in the terminal window when running realplay from the command line.

Xine, etc. play audio just fine on the other hand...

Does anyone know where should I start looking?

Thanks.
