+Description: Wrappers for Linux Real binary codecs used to analyze, alter and
+ dump the data flow between RealPlayer and its codecs.
-Usage: See realcodecs/HOWTO
+Usage: - Set the path to the RealPlayer codecs directory in the C files.
+ - Run 'make realcodecs'.
+ - Rename the original codecs to match the names expected in the
+ wrapper sources. The default is to give them a "real" prefix,
+ e.g. realcook.so.6.0.
+ - Put the wrappers in the RealPlayer codecs directory.
Notes: Known to work at least on Linux x86 with RealPlayer8.

-HOW TO get these capturers/wrappers to work:
-
-- set the path to the codecs in the C file
-- run make
-- the orig. codecs are prepended by a "real" -> e.g. realcook.so.6.0
-- the capturer get the old name, e.g. cook.so.6.0
