This is welcome news for users of the CMA's Internet Media Service as 
our principal streaming platform is currently RealMedia though the 
MP3/Ogg Vorbis platform is becoming increasingly popular:

"Red Hat has signed a deal with RealNetworks that will see the Linux 
firm bundle the open source Helix Player with its desktop products.

Under the terms of the agreement Red Hat will also offer a free upgrade 
to RealPlayer 10 for Linux to its customers on their initial 
installation of the Red Hat Desktop when the player is available later 
this summer.

In addition, Red Hat has promised to contribute resources to help 
qualify the Helix Player on its platform this summer."
