Have you got realaudio configured to use alsa or oss?  If oss, do you 
have package aoss installed,
the alsa oss emulation layer?  Whatever device it wants to use is
in use by something else.  A sound server can cause this problem as well.

Try with something like xmms or audacity also.

The fact that aplay can play means this is a configuration issue.
