Matthew, My main confusion with the initial para and the latter option was:
Para mentions ".. software to display Flash" , "MP3 and other media" , 
"wireless hardware" ; thats 3 different items there.
While the check mark option  says "this" (singular) and lists only 1 Fluendo 
MP3 plugin.

Why is the information overload if we are installing only one item?

My idea was, 
If we are installing only 1 Fluendo MP3 plugin , then the top para need not 
mention other 2 items(Flash/wireless).
If we are indeed installing all the 3 items mentioned in the para, then the 
checkmark option needs to list all those 3 items, or atleast say 
[ ] Install these third-party software  
(*Fluendo MP3 plugin,  .... Thomson )

"These" (or maybe some better wording to imply plural?) would imply the above 
mentioned 3 
and using  "(*  )" or  "*"  would make it seem just as an extra Fluendo info 
for a licensing note alone. 

Without which,  is just seems like an explanation of the option we are
selecting.

** Summary changed:

- Third-party software option during installation is unfortunately worded
+ Third-party software option is confusing
