Submitted by stro on Wed, 2003-08-06 15:59. Gnome Multimedia

Today at Linuxworld RealNetworks announced the launch of the Helix(TM) Player project.

The open-source Helix Player, with the addition of the RealAudio(R) and
RealVideo(R) binaries, will enable Linux, Unix and Solaris users for the first
time to enjoy a similar level of media playback and SMIL 2.0 support that
millions of consumers do today using the free RealOne(TM) Player on Windows
and Mac.

Helix Player will feature a GNOME/GTK interface along with a Mozilla browser plugin. THe player will also support Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and more.
