Not that I could find.

I submitted a support question, in which I asked for sample video files,
among other things. I'll get back here as soon as I have something
useful.

Already tried these both, but to no avail. BTW, "Two's complement" is a
good choice for uncompressed audio in Qt4L, isn't it?

I'm under the impression that it's not what RP accepts. I also tried
both DV AVI types (1 and 2) as imported directly by Kino - but no go
there either.
Which is kind of daft, because that means that RP for Linux accepts none
of the video formats generally used in Linux, making it completely
useless.

I hope the people from Real come up with a good suggestion, as I have no
idea whatsoever what might be a "suitable converter" ...

Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestions already; I guess I'll wait and
see what Real tells me.
