Post again if you have problems compiling.

B.S. I don't even have Realplayer installed. You can try replacing your
win32 codecs with these here:

to see if it works. However, Mandriva might have changed some code, have
you tried installing Realplayer Gold as the note suggest?

Sorry, I don't have pulseaudio (IMHO, it is the biggest pile of crap)
installed. You will have to wait for some one who uses pulse. Have your
tried "-ao alsa" and "-ao oss"?
