[antlr-interest] lecture audio versus video

I have an opinion, not about Real's codecs I'm afraid, but about Real
Player in general. Many people I know refuse to install Real because of the
"spyware" junk it installs on your system. It's somewhat of a nightmare to
get around it, too.

I wouldn't suggest that you *don't* provide Real streaming video, but I
would ask that you keep in mind that there may be plenty of people who
don't/won't have Real on their computers... please leave us with an
alternative. I imagine that as long as the audios are available, the unReal
among us will be happy.

Cheers,
John
