I've been trying to install realplayer a hundred times and once the installation has finished, I always get the error message: "cannot open the audio device, an application may be using it"
Either reboot to free sound driver and start realplayer as the first application or try and remove ~/.realplayer directory and try again. These are quite trivial solutions but sometimes work. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
