OK, so you said you were watching C-SPAN video via RealPlayer. So why are you surprised that you're getting UDP activity on port 6970? That is what RealPlayer uses to stream the video!
Look what you posted in your message:
"this port is also used to receive streaming media data in Real-Player and Quick-Time"
The GateCrasher trojan also uses port 6970 but via TCP protocol. You don't have anything to worry about.
I might as well mention for such purposes, I use X-NetStat Professional ( www.freshsw.com/xns/pro ) to identify real threats from normal traffic .. I did write it myself :)
