Great!  I had more or less given up on the same problem. Helix wouldn't play
radio, Realplayer10 from the real site cannot be installed in etch because of
missing libraries.  But www.debian-multimedia.org solved it.  In addition to
the w32codecs, I had to remove the helix player and install the realplayer
version from d-multimedia, but then it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the advice:  I'll even try it on the laptops now, though it's
usually impossible to set up sound on them.
