real codec is supported by ffmpeg as "ffcook".

it's at least good enough to listen to bbc streams. and this is under debian amd64 pure, where win32 dlls don't help (without the hassle of configuring a chroot or messing with incomplete 32-bit library packages).

An AMD64 native binary codec package is now available from the MPlayer website.

mplayer provides binary amd64 real libraries

i stand corrected: real supports linux on amd64, so mplayer has included those binary libraries, and only those libraries, in an amd64-specific codec tarball.

thanks for the heads-up, DonDiego.
