Debian make an ARM port which has virtually all of the 23000 packages in
Debian. I've run Iceweasel, Apache and KDE on an NSLU2 (32M of RAM, 266MHz processor) - because I could (and for the local LUG demo).

Pretty much any open source thing should run on the ARM platform. Multimedia codecs, too.. but they would probably have to be recompiled and probably have some optimizations done to take advantage of the platform to it's fullest.
For example the OMAP3 platform has the capabilities to decode 720p H.264 realtime for watch HD movies and such. But you won't get anywhere near that if you depend solely on the ARM processor. Depending on the version of the OMAP3 stuff you can get DSPs and such that can be taken advantage of to give very good performance for codecs.
