It looks like xine does not include the Real codecs (apparently requiring
that they be installed separately). We can discuss how we want to resolve
this in the release, but in the meantime, you can either disable the xine
plugin in firefox entirely (in Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins), or change the
action for the particular mime type (e.g. Real Audio document) in Edit ->
Preferences -> Applications, and tell it to use /usr/bin/realplay instead;
/usr/bin/vlc should also work.
