I'll intersperse my response to your questions for the sake of imitating a more
sensible conversation.

The information you should review regarding this is located here:

Be sure to examine each document discussing audio and video.

Sorry, can't address this.  Don't have PS3.

If you do:

Applications --> Sound Video --> Codec Installer

You'll notice a small app which introduces Fluendo and that Windows codecs are
available through them (legally) for a fee.  Just go to their website and
consider whether you need this.  I cannot speak regarding the quality of these
codecs or how they appear to someone when installed.

Something not obvious... check the master sound controls.  It may be in mute or
the sound levels may be very low.  If you are in e17, here's what to do:

First select the module and make it functional.  Do this:

Configuration --> Modules

Select the module that looks like a speaker.  Then click Load Module.  You'll
notice that the module will be shifted into the Loaded Modules column.  To
learn more about it click About and a brief explanation appears.  When done
click Close.

Next do:

Configuration --> Shelves

This is the first step in placing the module you just activated somewhere onto
a shelf.  Select Configure.  A window called Shelf Configuration appears, now
select Configure Contents.  You'll see Available Gadgets click on the one which
interests (the name which appears is Mixer) you then click Add Gadget, it should
then appear on the shelf you selected.  When it's on the shelf you can now
manipulate it directly.  Click on the Mixer and note the setting of volume and
whether mute is on or off.  Once it's somewhere on your shelf you won't have to
go through all the above.

A brief explanation of yum can be found here:

Understand that the Add/Remove application (called pirut) relies upon it so
configuring yum correctly will save you time.

All the best...
