Real Player 10 is available in ports.

The only ports that use win32-codecs are:

multimedia/avifile
multimedia/mplayer
multimedia/mplayerxp
multimedia/xine
multimedia/xmps-win32-plugin

As outputed by:

find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec fgrep \
'win32-codecs' /dev/null {} \;

I visited MPlayer and Xine websites and they seem to support streaming
(maybe Xine works??).

Good Luck.

P.S.: please CC to the list.
