Prime example -

totem in stock rhel/centos 5 is fairly old.
The totem-gstreamer plugin that builds for it simply does not work with 
recent versions of firefox.

Thus for a browser plugin, we are left with xine-plugin or 
mplayer-plugin, neither of which support the fluendo codecs.

Without the fluendo codec pack, many wmv files just don't work.
