try the following:

[manny@mannysBOX ]$ whereis realplay
realplay: /usr/bin/realplay

if you like realplay, you will like trplayer (character realplayer)....

manny

[manny@mannysBOX]$ rpm -qa | grep player
mplayer-1.0pre2-1
trplayer-1.2.0-1
mplayer-codecs-extralite-1.0-1
mplayer-common-1.0pre2-1

[manny@mannysBOX]$ whereis trplayer
trplayer: /usr/bin/trplayer
