9.3 is to my knowledge the only suse version that didn't have mp3 capability
out of the box. As you say, you had to download special multimedia packs
through the online update
10.0 reinstated mp3 capability out of the box, using the libhelix backend,
because Real has a valid license for mp3
And if I read the news articles correctly, in 10.2 or 10.3 (or whatever it
will be called) we will even get Windows Media capability out of the box,
again through the Real media player (and, through its libhelix backend,
through other programs as well, amarok can use libhelix for example)
