I don't think there is a 64 bit version of the realplayer (kick my butt if I 
am wrong). I don't know Suse very well, if it is biarch compatible it may be 
able to run realplayer for 32 bit even if the machine generally runs 64 bit. 

When answering questions on the god damn useless proprietary codecs, be alert 
to the fact that 64 bit and 32 bit users don't face the same problems. 

Having said all that I have noticed that libxine-extracodecs works some fairly 
undocumented wonders..... :-)
