also if you've saved the rpm, you can use rpm -l. I hope, I'm on
a Debian system so I've never actually used rpm, but that's what
the rpm man page says.
Once you've used rpm to find out what it installed, try typing the name
of a file that it put in /usr/bin or /usr/X11R6/bin or /usr/local/bin at
a command prompt, that should run it.

Real Audio 5.0, I'm willing to bet. Some sort of audio streaming thing.

try using rpm -ivh. I can't find an option that will tell you where the
files are going, but that will give you hash marks while it's unpacking
and the v might make it verbose enough to say where the files are going
you could also try rpm -ivvh if rpm -ivh doesn't cut it.
have fun
