I get the same error but I've never used the built-in media player so I don't know if that's a problem or not. I have two versions of gstreamer and all of its plugins, which caused me some problems with rhythmbox a few months ago. I had to emerge all of the newest versions of the plugins to match the newer gstreamer. I don't know which version of gstreamer libreoffice is using. BTW I just upgraded lo to 4.0.1.2 and no one has sent me any power-point files recently so I really don't know yet if they would play properly or not.
