Terence >>> Yes, I wasn't being very precise. 'realplay' is the package 
name, which Primax would need to look it up in Synaptic (and not 
'realplayer', so it can be confusing.)  It is the package for RealPlayer 
10, about which the notes say

"RealPlayer 10 for Linux is based on the open source Helix player.

"RealPlayer 10 supports RealAudio, RealVideo 10, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and
Theora, H263, AAC and more. Get ready for accelerated video, full
screen playback, and a lot more to play."

That's why I assumed it was basically GNU/GPL.

The version I'm using is in Feisty-Commercial.
