The bug I opened in Fedora has the comment that they are not carrying any patches. It's just vanilla Wine packages by Fedora.
The more interesting question would be if gstreamer still lacks any specific codecs.
At this point, I sort of doubt that it does.
Are your gstreamer plugins and ffmpeg packages from the official Fedora repository? If so, are you sure they haven't been crippled for legal reasons?
The reason I ask is because openSUSE does just that; users have to use the Packman repository to get fully-functional multimedia packages, and I think Rpmfusion serves the same purpose for Fedora.
As far as I can tell, they just split them up into several more packages than usual, which makes it easy to miss one, but I wouldn't say it's been "crippled".
For out of the box mp3 support, they simply use gstreamer1-plugin-mpg123, but the RPM Fusion package that contains LAME will replace that if you install it. So, Gstreamer will either support MP3 with mpg123 out of the box or with LAME if you install the Gstreamer packages from RPM Fusion.
Side note: I did try to use openSUSE a long time ago, and I found Yast to be very confusing and not particularly well designed, so the distribution wasn't really something I wanted to deal with. Seemed like whatever I did with it caused a conflict with something else. It was terrible. But that was around 10 years ago, so I have no idea if it has gotten more pleasant lately. Yum struck me as the better package management system, and Dnf is even better (Faster, tracks and uninstalls orphan packages, etc.)
