There’s a problem, though. Firefox is preconfigured to play real audio streams with totem. To use the real player plugin you must remove the totem plugin responsible to play these real audio streams. Just go to the firefox plugins directory located on:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

and remove

libtotem-complex-plugin.so

libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt

type:

sudo rm libtotem-complex-plugin.*

and happy listening with realplayer plugin for Firefox 2

Note:

You can see why totem is responsible to play realaudio streams by typiing in the firefox url bar:

about:plugins

and if you try to play any real audio stream by means of firefox plugins, firefox will try to open totem and totem will complain saying that it can’t open a stream via the rstp protocol.
