I have been running Gentoo for some years. I have sound and video

When I open a radio station, e.g. one of the BBC ones, realplayer starts
and tells me that it is playing, however I get no sound on either my
speakers or my headset. The ALSA mixer gui tells me that everything is
on and at full volume.

realplayer on linux really is borked and buggier than its windows
counterpart and even on windows people avoid it for a damned good reason

try if you can get it to play with mplayer, it may involve some
intermediary steps: downloading the ram, rm file, and playing the link in
previous file with mplayer itself but if you're really serious about
watching news than a little minute of work shouldn't be that much of a
problem
