I agree with OT, your post had little use for someone who uses CentOS.

I have the following in ~/.rpmmacros: # Change default RPM query format to show ARCH %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
That made it ultra-simple to get just what I had added, which was the i386/i586 RPMs from Fedora Core/Extras (basic Firefox, a few others), Livna.ORG (most of the multimedia add-ons) and 3rd parties (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader, Macromedia Flash, Sun Java Run-time).
I am sure you are aware of the fact that using these repo's on a CentOS Machine will cause you more damage than most people really want. Expect to reinstall the OS if you have those repo's enabled and run through a few pkg install cycles. And dont expect CentOS to provide you with any useful updates anymore.
How about a list of pkgs and dep's required to get i386 Multimedia working well on a x86_64 CentOS Machine ?
