At this point, I don't really care.  It works.  I have battled Multimedia on
Linux since I started using it.  Now I can check half a dozen boxes and stuff
plays....finally.  I don't have to navigate to all the different sites myself
and figure out what codecs are needed for WMV's, what apps and crap I need for
MP3's, and then install it all.  It adds the repositories for me. 

At this point, I am happy to remain ignorant and have something simple that works.
