Very Computer

I've recently installed Real1Player (r1p1_linux22_libc6_i386_a1.bin), and
it has now grabbed most of my audio associations in konqueror.

Using both konqueror...settings...configure konqueror and KDE Control
Center, I have expanded "File Browsing" selected "File Associations", and
removed the realaudio associations I don't want.  Specifically *.wav and
*.au.

After I hit "apply", they're gone like I want. But AS SOON AS I CLOSE AND

really annoying.)

At any rate, I suspect there are a few ways to specify file associations
in KDE, and I must be missing one.

Can anybody tell me how to remove file associations from RealAudio where I
want to use them elsewhere?  How might I do this?

Yeah, I know "real" applications are real aggressive with "owning" your
computer.  But this is *my* computer, and it will do what I tell it to
(with the help of the GNU/Linux community!).

Thanks a lot,

Well, 5 minutes ago Real was set as the default player for wav files on my
system as well, this is what I did to change it (Konqueror under KDE
3.0.3)...

In Konqueror, I selected a wav file that had the little "real" icon next
to it, then I right clicked, selected "Edit file type..." from the menu.

A dialog popped listing the mime type and preferred apps, of which Real
was the only one listed.

I added XMMS to the list of  preferred apps, and kicked it up on the list
to be the first option.  Then I clicked on the "Embedding" tab and
selected the "Show file in seperate viewer" radio box.

Then I just clicked "Apply" and then "Ok".  When I clicked on the file,
XMMS popped up and started playing the file.

Just to be sure, I closed Konqueror and then reloaded it, then back to the
same file and it looks like the settings stuck.

Never had that problem, so I'm guessing, but are there other instances of
Konqueror open?  If these get closed later, they may change the settings
back.
