There is actually, Its well hidden, and theres no link off
the main page as far as I know, heres how i found it
in /usr/src/linux/Document/Changes
search for rvplayer,
to to the site mentioned there for a LD_PRELOAD workaround
for the broken rvplayer under 2.2
http://onramp.i2k.com/~jeffd/rpopen/
And he has a link to
http://www.real.com/products/player/linux.html
and sure enough there it is (though mind you I haven't
actually used it myself as its glibc and I've a dodgy
libc5 machine that im trucking along with)
