Hi,
I think 3826 is not relevant to the current problem.
A release such as 13.2.0. knows what codecs are installed and can set
the mime-types accordingly.
There is no reason that Sugar should not support webm. It is designed to
offer an fully open alternative to mp4 (h.264 ..). I believe this
requires only libav.
The remaining problem is the 'ugly' codecs (mp3, m4a). These will have
to be installed by deployments or individual users just as they are for
Firefox and Ubuntu.
One option would be to follow the lead of these distributions and
provide a version of Jukebox that has the necessary codecs. Otherwise,
Sugar could provide instructions for deployments and users on how to
install the codecs.

We have a ticket open about it
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3826
I researched a bit what it would take to solve this and it seems that,
unless something changed recently, there is no good way to do it yet
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422540#c83
I tend to think we should just support audio/* video/* or something like
that, and have the activity print an error if the codec is not available.
