There is nothing we can do about proprietary programs that don't behave. Chances are realplayer can't deal with a sound server, try running it through artsdsp (if you normally launch "realplayer", launch "artsdsp realplayer" instead). Please let me know if that works (and ask real to fix it).
I am having the same problem, artsdsp realplay doesn't help. I am looking on the Real forum to see what's what.
