balder dash. smil has been around for quite some time and has nothing
to do with the player's interface. You can read about smil at:
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/
an extract from this page reads:
SMIL
TM
The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced
"smile") enables simple authoring of interactive audiovisual
presentations. SMIL is typically
used for "rich media"/multimedia presentations which integrate streaming
audio and video with images, text or any other media type. SMIL is an
easy-to-learn
HTML-like language, and many SMIL presentations are written using a
simple text-editor.

Friday was opening day at Wrigley Field here in Chicago, home of the
Cubs. As many know I live about four blocks from the ballpark. many
have discovered that Major League Baseball initially required use of the
Real One player, although many report that in recent days one can listen
to games using Real Player 8. Below is info from blind computer user
J.J. meddaugh about his conversation with a representative from Real
Networks and the company's plans to release a blind friendly version of
Real One that is accessible with keyboard support.

I'm posting this here as a follow-up to Bob's Post. If you have any
comments
on this, please write me privately, or you may discuss it on a Yahoo!
Group
such as Streammadness.
I called Realnetworks customer service and spoke to a David who was kind
enough to check on any progress. Apparently, the new version uses a new
language called SMIL which apparently screen readers don't recognize.
There
are apparently plans for a full-text version, based on inquiries by many
users and MLB.com, among others. According to David, this will be
released
in approximately two weeks and he has said he would personally Email me
when
this happens. I'll do what I can to keep on top of this, and let you
know
of anything new.
Meanwhile, I have Real 1 installed and working. I just have to figure
out
how to stop it from stealing associations.
