It can, and it must. FFmpeg (or Libav which is basically the same thing) is 
not acceptable for Fedora and will not be in Fedora any time soon. (Maybe in 
something like 20 years when all the current multimedia patents expire, but by 
then there will probably be new codecs with new patents.)

Decoding needs to be done using GStreamer.
