I don't use plugins for precisely the reasons you describe.  And I've
seen nothing on the Web that was compelling enough for one.

Real Audio is a different story; I run that as a helper app, not a
plugin.  The main deal with that now is that the 5.0 player has a
problem with 2.2.x kernels which causes it to freak after a few
seconds of playing a sound.  Evidently this is caused by some
incompatibility between the new sound drivers and RA.  Don't know if
the new G2 player has the same problem.

My solution: run RA under esddsp.  The virtualizing stuff cures the
problem rather well.
