It could be that Helix client is defaulting to OSS, instead of ALSA. Try 
changing/adding the following line in the resource (Preference) file.
SoundDriver=3

Possible resource file path are:
~/.helix/HelixSDK_10_0
~/.realnetworks/RealMediaSDK_1_0

You can always delete them and see if one of them is recreated after 
running the app.
