I just saw the announcement about Real.com and Take 5
(http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4406.html). It is suggested that
this makes it possible to port RealAudio to OS/2. This is
unfortunately not true. I had a look at real.com and Take 5, this
Software has nothing to do with the RealAudio codec and because of
this it does not support an OS/2 port of RA.

The best chance I see to get full RealAudio working on OS/2 is Odin,
the Win32 implementation for OS/2. As you may know the project is
doing very well but there is still a lot of stuff to do until we can
run applications like RealAudio.

We are still looking for some developers which are able to port
DirectSound to OS/2, I think there is more than 50% of DirectSound
functionality missing at the moment. And MIDI is not working at all.

So if you are skilled in MMPM and DART (and probably Win32)
programming, let us know, we need your help!

If you want to get more informations about Project Odin check:
