Should be as simple as doing the following:

wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1-1.fc.fr.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh freshrpms-release-1-1.fc.fr.noarch.rpm
yum install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio

You can find the package list available at
http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/ there are a number of pre-built
packages to add extra functionality such as various audio/video codecs
etc. Work out the name of the binary package and do a 'yum install
package-name' and yum will pull in any extras that you need. Other
worth while packages are also gstreamer-plugins-extra-video,
gstreamer-plugins-extra-dvd and gstreamer-ffmpeg, yum will pull in any
other packages you may need.
