Those are just the codec backend VLC uses. Same with MPlayer. IIRC VLC uses Xine. The right way is to use Gstreamer. Then any media player can use the codecs... but then we'd have less media players... rendering some media players useless. Cool thing on N900 is that Fremantle got some support for proprietary codecs by default, so you don't have to resort to gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly or gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
