Play Real Player media files on Linux with Helix player

My anime addiction has made me download tons of anime this week, so I was sometimes forced to use the proprietary Realmedia .rm and .rmvb files. While the compression quality is outstanding, I tried to find a good replacement for Real Player on Linux.
On Windows I use Real Alternative and on my Mac the free Real Player (it doesn’t seem as bloated as the Windows version).
And then i stumbled upon a player called Helix. The Helix DNA is the base of Real Player, but the Helix player works only on Unix systems. I’m still testing it, but according to a few Google searches I did it should play well with Real media formats.
Off to Kanon!
