 That will only work if you have ticked the always use for this type of file. 
You can then take out the default one and choose another, when you click on 
the file. I've not seen mplayer try to open a true realplayer stream without 
asking first though, so I'm guessing that for some reason the realplayer 
plugins weren't installed properly. How did you install realplayer, I realise 
I should have asked this earlier. Personally I found that by far the easiest 
way was to download the rpm from Real and use alien to install it.
