I have one minor concern here. Currently, codeina gives users a pointer to a
location where they can get codecs from, in the case where they aren't
supported within the Fedora repositories. While pointing people to Fluendo to
buy codec packs isn't exactly the greatest feature to preserve, we at least
offer a solution to folks following a clean install. So far as I can tell,
this PK solution does nothing for the user if they haven't already configured
a 3rd-party repository where the necessary codec might be available. *I* know
where to find that stuff and make this solution work as expected, but a new
user might not, meaning the search would fail, and they'd think there's no way
to play back their WMV crapola, complain loudly, etc., so this would be
something of a regression from F9, IMO. Of course, if there's actually
something in there that says "hey, you need to set up a 3rd-party repo and/or
you can get codecs from Fluendo", then no problem.
Which is, in fact, the whole point.
