Mine is from the w32codecs Debian package (version 1:0.92-2) from
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ and is different:

db96e05ee388f46fead4a5dbc55e7712  /usr/lib/win32/drv4.so.6.0

You seem to have the version that Real distribute from
http://docs.real.com/docs/playerpatch/unix/rv9_libc6_i386_cs2.tgz

I just did a search for open source Real codecs and it looks like
there aren't any.  I did come across some articles mentioning that
Real are open-sourcing some player program or other, but it's not much
use without the codecs being open source!

I just grabbed that dll from the mplayer website and, as you say, it
works fine.  I guess I'll stick with that for Real Media stuff.

Cheers,
