RealPlayer 10 is a mixture of open-source helix community code, and 
binary codecs. The sound parts are all open source, and the whole thing 
is currently buildable from cvs.

We have an esound driver. We haven't enabled it because A/V sync is 
terrible.

It does build & generally work, though -- let me know if you want to try 
doing an esound-enabled build, and I can help you out.
