Sorry, I didn't have that repository set up for C6 and when trying
to do a quick switch I didn't actually manage to switch it from C7
to C6. I agree, I don't see it there for C6, even in their -testing.

Looking at rpmfind it appears to be available from RpmFusion back to
fedora-18. That may not be old enough (forget what the fc "base" is
for C6), but you may be able to find older fc versions with a little
looking.

rpm -qa | grep -i 'gst\|libva'

Yes I do in seamonkey, the browser I use.
Strangely the box is not checked in firefox although FF and SM are very 
similar, but I never use FF on this system so maybe it's just not 
configured correctly.

My understanding, which may be incorrect, was that the firefox in EL6 wasn't
built with gstreamer support, so adding that library isn't sufficient.
