Yes, yes, I know we can't use it (hmmmph) but what format are .ra files, if I
want to put some on my homepages? Lin Signed? Unsigned? 16/8bit? Sample Rate?
Stereo/Mono? How could I prepare RealAudio on my web pages?

They're a copressed format, but MovieFS 2 from Warm Silence Software will be
able to play certain types when it is released.

The only way to prepare RealAudio is to convert a .wav sample into RealAudio.
Real Networks used to give the encoder away, but I don't think they do any
more.
I've got a copy of the encoder which will run on the SunOS unix machine at
uni and can generate 14k4 and 28k8 .ra files (unless it's got some sort of
time limit in it and won't work any more - I haven't tried it for over a
year).

My CJE 133MHz 5x86 PC card plays .ra files o.k., even if you can't use the
machine for much whilst playing is taking place.
RealVideo is out of the question though ! (not suprisingly)

BFN !
