Engine Specific Texts
xine-engine
- Can play using a selection of installed xine-lib output plugins, such as OSS, ALSA, aRts, or ESD.
- Has gapless playback
Helix Engine
- Supports native outport to alsa with current realplayer nightly builds and soon--realplayer 11. Now also supports direct alsa output even with realplayer 10.
- Requires either Helixplayer 1.0+ or Realplayer 10.0+. Realplayer 10.0+ is recommended; Helixplayer is the same codebase as Realplayer, but without many of the more popular plugins (for example, no mp3 plugins).
- Doesn't work on AMD64 platform (works only on i386 and SUN Sparc).
NMM-engine
- Has video support.
