linux sound issues

[Girard Damien]

Hi joe,

The media support under runrev under Linux/Unix is really poor (compared  
to Windows or MacOS X).

There is a enchancement request about that, please vote for him :

You will cannot play a video file in your stack with your trick, If you  
want
an audio support, you will have to write some scripts and to manually call  
mplayer.

And you cannot create a plugins for Revolution in C++, because the  
Revolution Linux/Unix
engine doesn't support that (compared to Windows or MacOS X).

Regards,

Girard Damien.
