Curious what version of SuSE you are running?  I'm currently running 10.0 
after trying out Ubuntu (thinking of switching back, though) and I have to 
jump through the same hoops as I do for Ubuntu except, perhaps for 
Realplayer, java, and flash which are all installed by default.  But, MP3's 
don't play by default in anything but Realplayer (they can be made to work in 
Amarok if you use the helix engine, but that required a teensy amount of work 
to get setup) and DVD's don't play unless you download the libdvdcss package 
just like in Ubuntu.  All in all, there are some things I like about 
(k)ubuntu and some I like about SuSE.  And now that I've proven that some of 
the problems I was having in (k)ubuntu were not the OS' fault, I'll probably 
switch back.
