What really smokes me is the insistence of certain applications on the use
of X. For a low-CPU usage app that doesn't need graphics, X is a hideous
waste of resources. Realplayer certainly doesn't need it for playing
realaudio streams.
I've discovered a little package called trplayer that was written for the
seeing impaired that claims to provide the functionality of trplayer
without X. It's kind of old, but I'm going to give it a try.
Cheers,
