TheQuirk:
It has a Linux version.

Doctor V:
MPlayer!

It is still in version 0.9, and will require some tweaking, but it really works well.  It can play not only real media files, but it can also play windows media files as well.  For that you have to download the codecs, and configure with them enabled.  They are also available from mplayers site.  I myself have had trouble getting it to embed in Mozilla, and have not been able to use the gui.  To use the GUI you need gtk 1.2 and all I have is 2.0 (don't quote me on this one, there may be a workaround).  I could really see this player becoming standard in Linux.

V 0.8.7

distortion:
cool, thanks! i've come across mplayer before, but i no idea it could play streaming audio.

and x12, even the linux version of real audio will have a death grip on your machine, so i hear anyway.

distortion:
hey, where can i get the codecs? i can't find them on mplayer's web page.
