Strange ! i use radioteentaal.com with realmedia feed. It works like a
charm for me

using rhythmbox v 0.9.5 with pitfdll+ffmpeg+win32 codec ( I dont care
which codecs are being used/lazy )


I've been unable to find a working version of pitfdll for
gstreamer-0.10+.  only for 0.8.  Does it work on gstreamer-0.10?
