Thanks, that sounds good but doesn't fill my need. Many webcasts require the RealPlayer plugin. Too bad.

Just download the abs tarball package here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1590
Then decompress this package. In a terminal cd to the directory where the "PKGBUILD" file is. Execute "makepkg" as user. And install it as root with "pacman -U realplayer*.pkg.tar.gz".
Maybe you have to install libxv before you can build the install package.

What Fenrin wrote probably works. To install it even easier cd to the directory and then just 'makepkg -csi' and its done. Im not on arch for the moment but i guess thats right.
Otherwise it's gecko-mediaplayer you are looking for. It's a browser plugin that uses gnome-mplayer to play media in a web browser. Install it by typing 'sudo pacman -S gecko-mediaplayer' in a terminal.
