Real Audio/Video uses "meta files", with the file extensions .ram and .rpm, to
start the audio/video stream - ram is used to pop the Real Player, and rpm is
used to embed it. If you linked directly to the file itself (which would have
the extension .ra or .rm), it wouldn't stream, and you'd have to wait for the
entire file to download. Or at least that's how it used to work.

The meta files just contain the location of the real file - usually a URL,
although I *think* you may be able to use a URI too (you couldn't the last time
I used Real Audio). All you have to do to circumvent this is read in the .ram or
.rpm file and use the URL contained in it.
