OK - I installed realplay from the "commercial" repositories (the canonical 
ones) and fired up the Beeb site in Konqueror. I watched East 
Enders "highlights" (first thing with video I found) - works fine here.
Perhaps it may be worth trying that version of RP out?  Not that it should 
matter, but I do have the libxine-extra codecs package installed - you never 
know, maybe that helped things?
