If this is a feature you'd like to see, file a feature request. The team might have seen it reading this, but it's easier to know for sure what they are thinking if you file it.
No glibc2.2 support
sadly, realplayer 10 requires glibc2.3.
realplayer 8 etc worked fine on glibc2.2, but realplayer 10 requires glibc2.3.
it's relatively simple to make glibc2.2 builds (id software does it for example) and they work fine on glibc2.3.
Re: RealPlayer can't play anything usefull?
What version are you using? Can you file a bug in the helixcommunity bugzilla if this still doesn't work for you?
