Just a guess mind you, but I suspect that the reason that you and a lot of 
other people are having problems with the Linux RealPlayer and streaming 
media is related to issues with the lack of DRM schemes under Linux.  A lot 
of the current streaming media stuff only works with RealOnePlayer, not the 
older Realplayer that is available for Linux.

Eventually companies like Real, rapidly being shut out of the proprietary 
software market because of MS are going to have to figure out a business 
model to make money with open source, including opening up their software 
source.  Personally, I think that advertising embedded in the media is the 
way to go, but as always, it will take them a bit to figure it out.
