mplayer can play realplayer files (I guess that audio too). I'm not sure about converting them though...Since mplayer can play realmedia (it may need you to install the binary realplayer for some of the very new formats, but I'm unsure on this point), it can also send the output to a file... try something like $ mplayer proprietary.rm -oa pcm -oafile=open.wav If it turns out you need the realplayer, you can apt-get install realplayer (from the deb repository at marillat.free.fr) and this will unpack the binary installer for you and install it in a more Debian-centric way :) Cheers, Gavin.
How do you do that for video files? My school does some courses over the web with streaming video (WMV, of course). After the class session they make the whole WMV video available as a download. I've been burning them to CD, but I hate to keep them in WMV format, I'd rather use an open format. Speaking of which, what is a good open format for video (preferably one that MPlayer supports since I already have it).
