gstreamer1 isn't available, get gstreamer (0.10 series) instead.
For some material you'll probably need packages not available in
the sl repos. If so, enable suitable third party repo (most likely
rpmforge, available via yum-conf-rpmforge). gstreamer-ffmpeg is a
likely candidate for most needs (probably... possibly... maybe).

I should perhaps add a caution; the player works well for me but locks 
the screen on hitting stop.  It unlocks with no trouble but is annoying. 
I'm using KDE-unstable. Others have reported time-related locks and/or 
claimed fixes.  Try it.
