I tried dropping the mp3 plugin files from RealPlayer in the HelixPlayer
plugin dir, and voilá! mp3 playback enabled.
I don't think the mp3 component is non-distributable, only the
RealAudio/RealVideo ones. A HelixPlayer-mpeg package might be possible
to host at
rpm.livna.org, for mp3 and mpeg4 playback.
Somehow I doubt Real will allow this after their instant of fame
claiming they have "secured" an mp3 license for the users of real
player.
(Of course I may be wrong and they may admit they were talking crap to
get quoted by clueless journalists)
