One thing to consider is that the RealPlayer is a product and that we don't have access to their code. It is a little different for publicly available programs where we can rectify or improve the code whenever we can . In the case of the RealPlayer the responsibility clearly falls on the company and even if the XFree86 group provides the functionality it is still up to the company responsible for the product to take advantage of functionality such as an interface to hardware assist scaling.
