You're on the right track. Both of those codecs are covered by the
ffmpeg gstreamer plugin. Search your package manager for something
with both 'gstreamer' and 'ffmpeg' in the name, and you should be good

On Ubuntu 10.04, the package is called gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and is in
the universe repository.
