Indeed, 
from technical POV it's probably the main question - how useful it will
be with codecs we provide in Fedora, what's the backend used for it 
and if it will be possible to split the package to bits that are ok for
Fedora (and then it could be included in Fedora) and patent-encumbered
stuff distributed by other means.
