RA is short for "Real Audio" ... as in the kind of formatted
files that are used to broadcast audio from the kind of serverware
that is sold by the great folks at www.real.com.

RA is different from standard computer sounds in the fact that it's
considered to be in a format that can be "streamed" to a computer over
a long period of time ... like a radio broadcast.  Which is considerably
different than a web page.  A web browser won't display the page until
it knows the formatting for the entire page.. .then *BLAM* the page is
right there in fron of you.  The images might trickle in later filling
up the gaps, for the most part everything is loaded and seen when the
browser can show you the page.

Consider "streamed" media to be much in the same boat as the contents
of a cassette tape is listened to moment after moment.  When you listen
to a radio (or cassette) you are listening to sequential streamed media
(like RealAudio).
