I have also had bad luck. It works only 10-percent of the time for me,
but
I am not using -current.

Also, when I installed that latest package, it gave me a signal 11 and
crashed my X11 a few times. From my journal (14/Feb/2001):
 Tried to install realplayer (from pkgsrc). Blackbox died with Signal 11.
Third time I started X as superuser, but still recieved Signal 11. This
occurred after choosing "cancel" and then "exit" for the mime types.
Installed by copying files/realplay.sh to work/ and edited it to point to
/usr/pkg/lib/Realplayer8; then did "make do-install" and then "make
post-install" (old version still installed under
/usr/pkg/lib/RealPlayer7/). It doesn't work too good -- sometimes hangs.

I didn't do a send-pr (yet), because of the signal 11 -- I may have some
hardware/memory problem.

I'd also like to know :)

I sure look forward to a truly open audio and video alternative ... maybe
Ogg Vorbis.
