It seems to me that Red Hat shouldn't necessarily include the Fluendo plug-in, but they could certainly point people at it. Surely the lawyers wouldn't have any problem with Red Hat telling people to get a properly-licensed piece of software, and GPL-compatibility-issues don't matter for end users, who don't need a license to the GPLed work (and this is an important aspect of the GPL: Freedom 0 implies that the user must be permitted to run GStreamer to play MP3s).
