I've explored building mplayer from source. To use RealAudio
streams, RealAudio needs to be detected at the time you've run
'configure' for the build. It uses the RealAudio files for playing.
So, you need the Linux RealAudio player anyway. And in my own
experiences, even playing with a local realaudio file, mplayer does
a _worse_ job than RealAudio.

When you ran './configure', it should have printed out a list of
enabled and disabled codecs. Was realplayer in that list at all?
My configure of MPlayer-0.90rc2 says this:
Enabled optional drivers:
Input: streaming tv-bsdbt848 edl tv dvdnav mpdvdkit2 vcd
Codecs: qtx libavcodec real xanim dshow/dmo win32 libvorbis libmad
Audio output: arts oss sdl mpegpes(file)
Video output: xvidix bl sdl gif89a jpeg png mpegpes(file) svga aa ggi opengl
dga xv x11
Disabled optional drivers:
Input: tv-v4l cdda dvdread dvdcss
Codecs: opendivx xvid libdv liblzo
Audio output: sgi sun alsa dxr2 nas win32
Video output: zr dxr3 dxr2 directx vesa fbdev xmga mga directfb tdfxfb 3dfx
Note the 'real' codec in the 'Enabled optional drivers' block. Note
the 'configure' options WRT 'real', when you run './configure
--help'.
Good luck...
