Well, after a long battle I did finally get rap to work. The problems I
had were caused by needed fonts not being installed on my system and the
script telling Xvfb to look for default fonts in /usr/X11. In my case, X
is in my /usr/X11R6 directory, so I needed to modify rap to tell Xvfb to
look for fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc rather than
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc. Also, I didn't have some required fonts
installed, but rap began to work after I installed the xfntbase Debian
package.
I'm hoping that maybe this will help people who are having trouble getting
it to work; just keep in mind that if it encounters an error (ie, a
required font not being present, the file you're trying to play not being
there, etc.), it will just sit and wait forever. You could always try to
run startx and see if it gives any errors to find out if you have all the
X-related files you need (which I didn't, and startx gave errors).
