everybody happy, IMHO.
Oh, and welcome to the list!

User can run their FTP connection in passive mode, which does not behave

I'm not convinced you need an outgoing policy at all unless you want to

previously downloaded it from the Real web site, but I thought it was in
the commercial repository now.
Or is there a way to play real audio and video without the non-free

I still don't really understand why it has been dropped from the
