Getting Realplayer Plug-in running

I'm trying to get the Netscape Realplayer plug-in (version 8.0.3.421)
running but it complains "Cannot open the audio device. Another
application may be using it"

ps shows no other sound applications running and I have changed the
permissions on /dev/audio /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer to 666.  There are no
lock files showing up either.

Where to from here?  What device is it trying to use?
