...Last time I checked, RealPlayer is actually a commercially branded
version of the OpenSource HelixPlayer from http://www.helixcommunity.org
(with a couple of extra codecs). HelixPlayer is installed by default in
FC3.

Seems to me there is a viable option for RealPlayer available directly
from Real themselves.
