gvfs was rebuilding fine against either the older or the newer API and 
the maintainer was ok to rebuild.

xbmc 10.1 needed some patches. They were applied. They are not needed 
for xbmc 11, so depending on the version in F16 and F15, they might 
still need to be applied. The maintainer was ok with rebuilding too. See 
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2011-December/011019.html

mplayer needed a patch too, but it wasn't applied. The patch might not 
be needed anymore as mplayer has been updated to a more recent snapshot.

The whole discussion is in rpmfusion-devel archives :

The vlc maintainer was looking at pushing vlc 2.0 to F16 and maybe F15 
too. This release can use libbluray.

For completeness, xine-lib 1.2 and xine-lib 1.1.21 can also use 
libbluray. 1.1.21 is not released yet and I'm not sure what the state of 
xine-lib in Fedora/RPM Fusion is at the moment anyway. An update to 1.2 
for F17 was discussed, but this version cannot be easily split into a 
patent-free and a patent-encumbered package, so that will need to be in 
RPM Fusion and it will drag a couple other packages too.
