you should add the packman repository to whatever suse/opensuse version
you're using and use the stuff inside it when you need multimedia stuff,
since novell's politics about multimedia is quite different from other
distros and won't let you have a 100% codec and packages directly from them.
also you should browse the huge miriad of repos on
software.opensuse.orgdirectories since there you should be able to
find about 99,99% of the linux
packages around.
