When VLC can support realplay format media?

[clock_zhong]

I found the VLC0.8.1 still can't play realplay format(rl, rmvb) meida correctly, sometimes the audio is OK!
So when it can support realplay format?

When it can support reaplay format completely?
Who can reply me? I found the VLC is also an excellent media transferring tool, I can use it to transfer any media format to any other media format(except the RMVB and RL), but it support the realplay audio, not video!

Real is proprietary (closed source)VLC is open-source. -- it won't support Real unless on open-source implementation comes out.

i still dont understand this logic. MPC is open source as well. Yet it support Real Media files. It is simply a filter and spliter with Real Player installed isn't it?

VLC is self contained and doesn't use external codecs from Windows as most programs do.
