Well, I suppose you could do something like mv /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp.tmp && 
mv /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp0 && mv /dev/dsp.tmp /dev/dsp1

Not sure how terribly well that'd work (and it's a horrendous hack), 
though you can select the output device in mplayer with the ao: option. 
I don't know anything about RealPlayer, so I wouldn't be able to help 
you there.
