Just tried the link you provided and what happened to you happened to me as well. It pulled mplayer with the 'rm' codec (v8).

Normally I use gxine with all the various codecs and have no problem.

Am using Xubuntu dapper drake.

I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 at the moment. Tried to open with Totem. I'm afraid without success

The files are Realplayer format. Look here for info on players and browser (https://player.helixcommunity.org/?from=forms&href=https%253A%252F%252Fplayer.helixcommunity.org %252F%253Ffrom%253Dforms&pageid=unagi.8083677&pageregion=bottom_stage_text&src=linux&pcode=rn&opage=linux) plugins.

There are Debian packages.
