Red Hat 5.1, boxed set:
# rpm -ql pnserver
...
/usr/bin/rmenc
...
# man rmenc
RMENC(1) RMENC(1)
NAME
rmenc - encode .au or .wav file or live audio input into a
RealAudio file
SYNOPSIS
rmenc -I infile.wav -O outfile.rm -A codec
DESCRIPTION
rmenc encodes audio files into the RealMedia file format
for real-time delivery over the Internet. On some UNIX
systems, rmenc can also capture audio input from a sound
card, and deliver the encoded stream either to a file on
disk or to a RealServer on the Internet.
........
Voila!
The only real "secret" is that it has to be encoded at a frequency that
"rmenc" has a codec for, and you must provide the appropriate codec option
to do the conversion. The other "secret" is that the pnserver package only
comes with the "boxed set", because it is licensed software from Real
Networks and is not "free" software. I also don't know whether it comes
with RH 5.2 -- I don't have any RH5.2 boxed sets yet. But it definitely
did come with RH 5.1.
