oh that drives me CRAZY !! and sometimes you get the most irrelevant stuff, i can't remember what it was i installed recently that wanted me to install the yahoo toolbar, something completely random though (avast ?). real player *is* obnoxious, but ironically in the past it's usually been real player that tries to get you to install it along with some other (unrelated...) app ; i've never had the opposite happen yet.
nate, i forget where i saw it, but i'm pretty sure there was some sort of app floating around for a while which would let you read real player files (including streaming) in the media player of your choice... you might want to hunt around. if i can remember what it was called i'll post a link (if i can find it again).
