Hello guys,

I beg you pardon, but I tend to disagree. 
>From user perspective I would be more than happy to see that I have got 
the right application to handle given format already.
Only thing I am missing is the right codec.

Gnac is using gstreamer that means that support for some other type of media 
could be probably added just by installing plugins to gstreamer.
The fact that it is not supported out of the pure Fedora repository doesn't mean 
that the support cannot be added by the user by installing the right plugin
(for example from the rpmfusion repository). 

That is probably the reason why other media players do register for all possible 
media types even without the right codecs present already in the system.

Best regards
Michal Ambroz
