Fedora won't, by default.... You need to add the Livna-stable repo to your list, first (http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html). Then open Terminal, and type

Code:

su  (enter)
(your root password)
yum install gstreamer-ugly (enter)

That should find you the right codecs for mpeg/mp3(and a few others).

Regarding the other question, I think I remember seeing instructions for that on the Wine website(http://www.winehq.com/).

You could download mplayer and mplayer-plugins (or whatever it is. I haven't done it a while and I'm on Windows.)

Support for windows-based gaming is still quite limited in Linux. There is an installable application that allows you to play many, but not all windows-based games. It's called Cedega, and the link is here. To get the application, you must contribute some $$ but it's not too much. It's actually a membership, and it entitles you to some input as to what games get supported.
