Some of the issues with these media formats is the licensing on the format itself. For example, you want MP3 support, but using MP3 requires licensing from a company to use it. Blender is strictly in the GPL branch of open source licenses (see more here: https://www.blender.org/about/license/) and does not package software that does not meet the same or a looser (Apache, for example) license.
