The objectives are different :-) I'm just building the plugin part -- it will 
use, whatever is known as "realplay" (or "hxplay") on the system.

The following is the text I tried to add as a follow-up to Alexander's blog, 
but could not (presumably, due to glitches of the web-site):

<<How is this different from the already existing port of 
multimedia/helixplayer ?

It would seem, the existing port is only missing the few codecs, which Real 
can not or would not open-source.

I'd like to propose, that you concentrate on porting these codecs ONLY and 
rely on the already existing multimedia/helixplayer port already being there 
(RUN_DEPENDS, maybe BUILD_DEPENDS).

Considering my (pending) multimedia/helixplugin, you, probably, should not 
bother with the browser plugin either...

Good luck! Yours,>>
