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.
