mplayer vs realvideo

[Michael Hennebry]

What is the magic formula for getting mplayer to play
the video portion of realmedia files?
My /usr/local/lib/win32 is a soft link to codecs, which contains

LCMW2.dll            vdowave.drv                  wvc1dmod.dll

Even on things it will play, e.g. wmv files,
it won't give me a control panel.
I'm running FC6.
