Red Hat removed mp3 support, but you should be able to find plug-in from 
Dag's archive. http://www.lineox.net/apt-get.php lists the main 3rd 
party repositories. I believe http://freshrpms.net/ had quite good 
collection of mplayer libraries and codecs.

Soikko is almost free Finnish spell checker for OO. Downloads are free, 
but there are some other limitations and that is why it is not included 
in OO. Googling soikko should give needed links. Haven't checked it's 
current status though.
