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
to go.

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

Thanks for the reply. I have something called gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, version .10.10-1 installed already (this is on 10.04). It calls itself the ffmpeg plugin for GStreamer. Is this what you were referring to or is there another package?
