I tried to watch a real stream with firefox. It didn't work. The solution is, 
to erase the totem plugins and install the realplayer instead. In the 
konqueror it's easier, you just tell it with File Associations to launch 
realplayer instead. However, it doesn't work there well as a plugin. If the 
webpage enforces embedded viewing, I still have to use firefox :-(.
