Oh, that are some interesting information !
Well, the few things about -identify are easy to fix, and I will do
it soon.
The more interesting part here is that realvideo demuxed by lavf is no
playable by the binary real codecs. That's a more serious issue.
It's due to the fact the MPlayer uses a specific packet formatting to
communicate between its demuxers and its real codec. I've already
started working on it and already have half of the solution. So a
patch can be expected soon.
