Yes, there is a "free" player called Helix which is the RealPlayer equivalent for Linux. I don't know if it's really free or not and I'm pretty sure that Debian doesn't package it. Look for helix or helixplayer. I don't remember the site offhand but try helixplayer.org or similar. You might have to build from source. Since you're on a Mac, why not just get RealPlayer for OS X which might also run Helix? You could just download the ram file and play it from the Mac side. I haven't used any GUI RealPlayer in Linux at all and the last TRPlayer I used I think only worked with RealPlayer 8 or 7. Also, MPlayer might work as I think it can use the Real codecs. Try installing the win32-codecs package from http://debian-multimedia.org/ or from Ubuntu as Debian won't officially support them because they are non-free. Also try helix-player.org or of course Google. I don't know if debian-multimedia ships Real/Helix or not, I've not looked.
