Sorry, gave some misinformation in the last post.  From the Helix
Player FAQ:

"What is Helix Player?
Ans: The Helix Player 1.0 is the completely dual licensed, both open
source (RPSL) and commercial community source (RCSL), media player and
thus contain no non-open source components.   It plays open source
formats, like Ogg Vorbis and Theora. 

What is RealPlayer 10 for Linux?
Ans: The RealPlayer 10 for Linux builds on top of the Helix Player and
will include RealAudio, RealVideo, MP3, Flash, MPEG-4(fee-based) and
other non-open source components."

Hope this makes it clear!
