You are probably correct about 2008.1 not including the Fluendo pack.  
My workstation runs 2008.1 and I think I had trouble with codecs to 
start with - memory fuzzy.  I had bought the megabundle on 2007* but 
bought the latest bundle from Fluendo, which helped but had trouble with 
faad (vague memory again).  No trouble now either offline or in a 
browser.  These are the faad components on this system:

/usr/bin/faad
/usr/lib64/libfaad.so.0                             # probably a 
symbolic link to the next one
/usr/lib64/libfaad.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/libmpeg4ip_faad.so.0                     # symbolic link?
/usr/lib64/libmpeg4ip_faad.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so
/usr/lib64/libquicktime/lqt_faad2.so
/usr/lib64/vlc/codec/libfaad_plugin.so
/usr/lib64/xine/plugins/1.20/xineplug_decode_faad.so
/usr/share/doc/faad2
/usr/share/doc/faad2-xmms
/usr/share/doc/faad2/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/faad2/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/faad2/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/faad2/README
/usr/share/doc/faad2/TODO
/usr/share/doc/faad2-xmms/README

Don't know where they came from.
