Unfortunately realplay is only used by handlers who explicitly request
it (atm basic.ch). The Preselections use the "Listen to a stream"
action. What you can do is code a simple shell wrapper and set it as
the program for "Listen to a stream":

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    *.rm|*.ram|*.ra)
        realplay "$1" ;;
    *)
        xmms "$1" ;;
esac
