i couldn't get them work even with the windows rp 8 (in crossover) :(
(rp doesn't recognize their sample files (plugin installed ofcourse) and
tries to download codec from real.com which fails)

not seems so

btw they provided demuxer&codec-in-one plugin so it's unusable with teh
current realcodecs support of mplayer... (it's not using the real codec
interface used by rv20..rv40 codecs. same issue as with rv10 codec)
