It's not a plugin bug.  It's more of a file extension problem...
There's no way with say ftp to determine the mime type.  Then you have a
ton of http sites that don't provide the correct mime type.  Since both
Real Player and rpm use the rpm file extension.  Only one can be bound
when the file extension is the only info you have.  Since .rpm is rarely
used for real player it'd probably be save to change it to propmt and go
from there...

The second thing we ought to do is change this:
[breser@occipital conf]$ grep rpm apache-mime.types 
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin     rpm

to:
application/x-rpm       rpm

It's pretty unlikely that most people are going to be wanting to use rpm
for realplayer on a linux box.  And those few people can change it.
It's annoying to have to change this on every fresh apache install.
