With the gstreamer plugins from rpm.l*vna.org - it plays quite a few
codecs for me. Rarely do I need to fireup mplayer.

I can't speak to that.
Totem in fc4 works fairly well for me, I have not tried the devel branch
- but keep in mind that a new gstreamer was just released, so there may
be some quirks from that.

Yes it makes sense.
As has been mentioned - plugins.

Currently most of the cool plugins have the same patent distribution
problems as xine/mplayer, but hopefully fluendo (and others?) will fill
that gap nicely.
