Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Code:
## Various Multimedia Helper Apps Mplayer, Real, etc.. ##
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
Then dselect update and apt-get install realplayer you will want to have found and downloaded the file rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm before trying the install (the _ in the name of the file may be . I seem to remember having to rename it) then when the installer asks for the location tell it where you saved the file.
