Sounds like Real Audio's tactics. Like Netscape, they just
love to hide the stuff you want & force you into upgrades which
don't work properly.
Chances are, your realplayer is fine. Did you try opening it,
say, from the command line (type realplay) & play some known URL?
I've found that this works when I get those errors.

If all else fails, try http://www.rpmfind.net & search it out.
They usually have everything.
