It can.
You just need the right gstreamer-plugins.

The rawhide totem on *my* FC3 system is very nice - I built and  
installed the right plugins.

That's why gstreamer backend is better than xine or mplayer - you don't  
have recompile your apps every time you want to add capability it  
didn't have before, you just need the plugin. Supposedly the same  
company that paid the guy to do all the work on gstreamer/totem is  
going to be offering these as a purchase option - I highly suspect  
divx.com will soon provide a free plugin (they already provided the  
shared library and the plugin code is already in gstreamer).
