Hi,

I have it working using firefox 32 bit and the real player plugin for 
that architecture.
There are many step-by-step instructions about the installation of 32bit 
firefox on 64 bit machines
Here just one of them:

Once you install the realplayer plugin you have to run realplay once 
from the terminal and this will start a configuration wizard.
Then you should be able to strema real audio...

Hope this helps,
