I tried to do a little research on Helix Player, but the website appears to be down right now. It would be nice if dropping in a plugin of some type was all it took to add MP3 (and Real) support.
I tried dropping the mp3 plugin files from RealPlayer in the HelixPlayer plugin dir, and voilá! mp3 playback enabled.
I don't think the mp3 component is non-distributable, only the RealAudio/RealVideo ones. A HelixPlayer-mpeg package might be possible to host at rpm.livna.org, for mp3 and mpeg4 playback.
Somehow I doubt Real will allow this after their instant of fame claiming they have "secured" an mp3 license for the users of real player.
(Of course I may be wrong and they may admit they were talking crap to get quoted by clueless journalists)
