Further to my earlier message, I have just found the following information on the Real Customer Support website (http://real.custhelp.com/):

Question
  What types of streaming content is RealOne Mobile Player for Pocket PC designed to support?
 
Answer

RealOne Mobile Player for Pocket PC supports streaming content that meets the following guidelines:

- Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Operating System
- 200 kbps maximum bitrate (may vary depending on network conditions)
- RTSP via UDP transport protocol
- Streaming File types .RM or .RAM
- G2 or later Video Codec (Includes RV8)
- G2 or later Audio Codec (Includes RA8 up to 96 kbps; Excludes ATRAC3) and Sipro Audio Codec
- Recommended FrameRate 10-15 fps with FrameSize approaching 320x240*

Could it be that the problems that I (and others) are encountering are caused simply by the fact that the Audio Codec used (by, for example, many of the BBC steams) is earlier than that supported?

Best Regards, Phil Steer
