In the case of Real Audio, this saves not the audio file but the file
containing the pnm:// URL pointing to the Real Audio file.  Note the
saved file is almost always under 1K in size.

The majority of Real Audio on the web is in streams, not downloadable
files.  I don't think there's a chance in hell that Progressive Networks
will write a Real Audio Player for the GS nor license their code to a GS
developer.
