	I'm using Netscape 4.73 and mpg123, but it works
	great.  I think your problem may be the MIME type
	you're using.  I have it configured for audio/mpeg,
	audio/x-mpeg, and audio/mpegurl.

	I've been extremely disappointed in Real's support
	for Linux.  I don't even know that the latest 
	RealPlayer for Linux has mp3 support, but I also
	haven't bothered to look in awhile.
