I'm assuming I need to install a multimedia kernel? Does this replace 
the entire kernel, or is a modular patch? Mandriva control center offers:

kernel-multimedia-desktop-2.6.17.13-3mdv
kernel-multimedia-desktop-latest - Virtual rpm for latest 
kernel-multimedia-desktop
kernel-multimedia-desktop-smp-2.6.17.13-3mdv - Linux kernel for desktop 
use with i386-smp
kernel-multimedia-desktop-smp-latest - Virtual rpm for latest 
kernel-multimedia-desktop-smpkernel-multimedia-source-2.6.17.13-3mdv - 
The source code for the Linux kernel-multimedia-2.6.17.13-3mdv
kernel-multimedia-source-latest - Virtual rpm for latest 
kernel-multimedia-source
kernel-multimedia-source-stripped-2.6.17.13-3mdv - The stripped source 
code for the Linux kernel-multimedia-2.6.17.13-3mdv
kernel-multimedia-source-stripped-latest - Virtual rpm for latest 
kernel-multimedia-source

Do I just install one of these and I'm done?
