GStreamer has tools available that (in > theory) work on all platforms to install missing plugins. In which case, I'd say it's legal as long as your package has some functionality that is usable even without the RPM Fusion bits (in this case, CD-ripping). I maintain a package in RPM Fusion that does not quite make this criterion -- Vagalume, a Last.fm client. While it can be built without install-time requirement on GStreamer's MP3 codec, there's no point since Last.fm *only* streams in MP3! But if in doubt, you can ask the legal@ list.
