Can I play RealAudio on my Amiga?

Over the last year it has become possible to play RealAudio. Whilst this is not an official solution and so does not offer many features, it is still impressive. The only program available is RA, available from http://csc.smsu.edu/~strauser/ra.html. At present it only supports the transfer rate 14.4kb/s although faster versions are promised. The program requires a 68030 processor running at 25MHz to produce almost real time results, as well as ixemul.library and a 16-bit sound player such as Play16 or AHI.
