Correct me if I am wrong, but the main problem with Real Audio is that it 
is UDP based and therefore is difficult to secure.

Although, I think some firewall vendors are planning to support it in 
future releases, Borderware in particular.  I believe there is 
information on this on the Real Audio WWW site.

Hope this helps,
