-     The package is called "essential". Unpack it and move everything you
-     find inside to <filename>/usr/lib/codecs</filename> and set the
-     <parameter>decoder.external.real_codecs_path</parameter> in your xine config file
-     to <filename>/usr/lib/codecs</filename> (actually you can place them
-     anywhere you want, e.g. someplace in your home directory, but then you'll
-     have to set <parameter>decoder.external.real_codecs_path</parameter> accordingly).
-     Restart xine then and you should be able to watch Real files/streams.
