Shouldn't MP3 playback support be included in the OSS version? AFAIK, Thompson's patents on MP3 allow royalty-free distribution of free decoders.
Tell me where on this page:

...you find where it says "royalty-free distribution of free decoders."
If you find that magic phrase, let me know and we'll drop mp3 support into Fedora Core tomorrow. :)
Well Greg, if we had that magic key, we would already have mp3 support in SUSE Linux OSS ;) Nevertheless, the retail version supports mp3 playback out-of-the-box(TM). Regards Christoph
