Sorry, yes, real Video and Audio are what I was looking for. I still think
of the player as the "RealAudio" player in my head, and I tend to make that
mistake a lot.

I thought mplayer came with Real Audio/Video codecs built in?
Looking through my '/usr/share/mplayer/codecs.conf' file, I see references
to the "Win32 RealPlayer 9 RV40 decoder" using driver drv43260.dll,
which I have installed at "/usr/lib/win32/drv43260.dll". Similar situation
with the "Win32 RealPlayer 8 RV30 decoder" and "Win32 RealPlayer 8 RV20
decoder" codecs. I don't seem to have any of the linux drivers installed
("drv4.so.6.0", "drv3.so.6.0" & "drv2.so.6.0" respectively).
I have tried giving the RAM file as a URL to mplayer (for real audio and video),
but it fails with:
============ Sorry, this file format is not recognized/supported =============
=== If this file is an AVI, ASF or MPEG stream, please contact the author! ===
I've downloaded the RAM file myself and just put the rtsp://<stuff> part into
MPlayer, but then I get an error "Unable to open URL http://rtsp://<stuff>"
I even tried one streaming site with an http:// transport, and a .smi file,
but that just caused MPlayer to crash with "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11
in module: demux_open"
Did I build it improperly, or forget (or add) something to my USE line that
would cause this?
Anyway, thanks for any help, LMK if there's anymore useful information I can
give to everyone.
Adam
