And you might well want to use mplayer, too. Real Player 8 is somewhat
old and buggy, whereas in my experience the RealOne alpha is really,
really unreliable and buggy. *sigh*.
Install realone player, then when building mplayer run configure with
--with-reallibdir=/home/username/Real/Codecs
(for RealOne player)
That said, mplayer's support isn't overly reliable at the moment either
and it can't seek.
