Suggestion #1: point'em to Nux. :-) http://li.nux.ro/repos.html Nux-dextop coexists well with EPEL. For people in the US who want 'legal' codecs that work with gstreamer, see fluendo.com. Nux has useful packages other than license-encumbered multimedia things (Recent abiword, for instance, and 2.x ardour, for another).
