My mistake.  I spoke too soon.  :-)

With w32codecs installed, the "video" portion of Real Video 4.0 file can
indeed play on Intrepid 8.10 beta!  And, contrary to what I thought, it
is not handled by gstreamer0.10-pitfdll, but rather by gstreamer0.10
-plugins-bad (0.10.8), which is a new version in Intrepid (and in Debian
experimental).  The upstream NEWS.gz list the following fix (among many
others):

    * Fix the Real codec wrapper plugin

Unfortunately, there is no audio:

    ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-pn-realaudio, 
raversion=(int)10, flavor=(int)0, rate=(int)32000, channels=(int)2, 
width=(int)16, leaf_size=(int)256, packet_size=(int)256, height=(int)1, 
codec_data=(buffer)021290
    ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|RealAudio 
decoder|decoder-audio/x-pn-realaudio, raversion=(int)10, flavor=(int)0 
(RealAudio decoder)
    ** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper 
script missing)

When mplayer is used to play the same file, the following is shown:
    ==========================================================================
    Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
    FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
    AUDIO: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/12.50% (ratio: 16000->128000)
    Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) 
decoder)
    ==========================================================================

But gst-inspect does show the existence of the faad plugin.  Hmm...
