I think you should link directly to this and say that RealPlayer is 
required.  Just like: <a 
href="rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e030304_house.rm">Listen</a>

> javascript:playClip('rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e030304_house.rm')

This one won't work, because the function playClip doesn't exist (weird 
function too, seems pointless).
