OK, it's good news.  Everything's working!  I can go to a web site with 
a RealPlayer stream, open it and specify kplayer as the helper app, and 
it plays.
So it seems that any needed powerpc codecs must have been installed by 
the installation process from www.debian-multimedia-org.

Cheers,  Mike.
