Bug? Starving RealPlayer plug-in of null events when window minimised

Dear WebKit team,

It seems that the RealPlayer plug-in, when playing Mp3 content in Safari, gets starved of null events when the browser window is minimised. This does not happen under Internet Explorer or Firefox.

In my own use of WebKit, are there any interim workarounds where I can send these null events to the plug-in to keep it playing?

Relevant information follows, along with simple HTML code you can use to demonstrate this issue.

Regards,
Simon

Thanks for providing the html. It looks like Safari is starving the plug-in of null events when the window is minimized; the issue doesn't arise in Internet Explorer, or when the Safari window is hidden, since the plug-in continues to get null events. You might want to report this as a bug to the Safari team, or raise the issue on the WebKit mailing list.

*** My e-mail to Greg:

When the RealPlayer plug-in is embedded in a HTML web page, and this web page is viewed in a browser using Web Kit (Safari), and the media content is MP3, or MP3 wrapped in a RA container:
- Minimising the browser window will cause audio to stop playing after a few seconds. Maximising the browser window will cause audio to start playing again [which is not what a user would expect]
- Hiding the window (Apple-H) does not affect audio in anyway [which is what a user would expect]

Some example URLs are:
http://www.wamu.org/ram/wamulive.ram
http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls? rn=7733&file=filename.pls
(any of the shoutcast mp3 streams)

This behaviour has been reproduced on:
OS X 10.3.2 - 10.3.4
RealPlayer 9.0 build 9.0.0297-B
RealPlayer 9.0 build 9.0.0297-C

This behaviour does not affect other media format streams, such as pure RA.
