Hmmm...No. Multimedia is a ways off on just about _any_ platform due to
the legal encumbrances of most formats and codecs. Fedora, by default,
includes support for Free formats such as Ogg Vorbis, Speex, and FLAC
audio, as well as Ogg Theora video streams.

Hopefully, CodecBuddy in F8+ [1] will make this a lot less stressful by
allowing one to legally obtain codecs for most formats (DVD, MP3. and
Windows Media support probably being the top three).

Alternatively, the Livna repository (among others) contains such support
already, which you can use should such software be legal in your
country/location.
