This one is a little tricky only because the latest official release is horribly out of date and doesn't even use ALSA for sound. So rather than deal with annoying workarounds I think the easiest thing to do now is to just use the latest daily build that's available. I'm currently using RealPlayer-10.1.0.3114-20070503.i586.rpm which you can just download and install. This one pretty much "just works" and doesn't seem to have any bugs I can see.
Just install it:
$ rpm -ihv RealPlayer-10.1.0.3114-20070503.i586.rpm
Then whenever you want to view something just use /usr/bin/realplay. Here is a link to a cute test video to make sure it's working for you.
If you also installed Mplayer above then you will likely run into a problem where the Mplayer provided Real Media plug-in will be run instead of the one installed by the RealPlayer package. The mplayer verison of the plug-in does not work correctly in most cases and causes more problems than it solves. The only way I've found to get rid of it is to just simply delete the plug-in files:
# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
# rm mplayerplug-in-rm.*
