I can not find a single player that will play or recognise this file (of
mplayer, xine, vlc, helix-player).

Not even Real's own 'RealPlayer 10 for Linux' will play it.

I don't know what kind of this file is, but it looks just broken.

Len - if you know any player on any operating system that can play this, please
re-open the bug and let us know.

There is a (very small) possibility that the original is in fact an mp3 file
and there's a very large realmedia tag of some sort (image data, whatever)
between the ID3 tag and the mp3 data. If that realmedia data was more than
~450kB in size, we might not recognise the file right with a 900kB snippet. If
this is the case and the really is mpeg audio data somewhere then we should be
able to recognise this now with an up-to-date core (0.10.4), -base (0.10.5) and
gst-plugins-good from CVS.

Feel free to e-mail me the whole file so I can check whether that's the case or
not (although I somehwhat doubt it).

Closing the bug, as there isn't much more we can do about this for now.
