I don't know the libraries but i know the programs that use those libraries.
Avi can be Vlc, Mplayer or Totem.
Mp3 can be Rhythmbox, Exaile, Amarok, Banshee, etc.

Re: Lib....(SOLVED)

You know...  I have no idea what information you actually want.  Can you make the question clearer about what you are trying to achieve?

Re: Lib....(SOLVED)

Arch doesn't have anything like "restricted sources", we are much more relaxed about it. Eg you don't have to enable some extra repository er anything to get libdvdcss, the gstreamer mp3 stuff, divx and similar.

Uh... default install of packages should work in most cases. What CAN'T you play?

P.S. - test whether it works first before asking, that's generally more polite.
