Johnny, this was answered yesterday by an employee of Sun. However,
since some people's eyes may have glazed over on reading his message,
here is the crucial part:

So presumably on Linux/BSD/etc. this JavaMediaFramework will be
installed. I'm not sure if this is what we're looking for, but on my
copy of Ubuntu i see /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libjvmfwk.so.3.
Note that amongst the dependencies of openoffice.org-common, there
also exists a need for libgstreamer and libgstreamer-plugins, which
strikes me as strange. However, they are quite possibly required for
loading media into Impress.
