If you compile say mplayer from source does it make a difference?
I don't appear to have trouble playing multimedia files.  I have xine and mplayer compiled from source.  Don't give up on Fedora yet, report bugs complain and complain and if this does not make a difference(Nobody listens, answers to your bug reports), then you can go to Bill's software(OS).
