OK having looked at the geexbox 1.1 release notes you may not need the
non-free codecs.

"It also comes with a massively upgraded and more stable MPlayer, which
features native decoding of various audio/video formats/codecs that used
to be available through non-free Win32 DLLs only (such as Windows Media
Video, Flash ...)"

"Detailed Changelog (relative to 1.0 release) :  ...

Player:
- Upgrade to MPlayer SVN v23418.
- Added support libavformat demuxer in addition to internal libmpdemux.
- New native VC-1/WMV3/WMV9 video decoder (Windows Media Video)."

For the gory, non-snipped details try the "News" page on the geexbox site..
