And also between opensuse-12.3-update-non-oss and opensuse-12.3-non-oss

Are the overlapping each other? I should have them all enabled?

No you always need OSS,Non-Oss,Update and Non-Oss update
Other than that packman is the one of the must repos if you need
multimedia capability on your machine

GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop

The repo opensuse-12.3-non-oss includes the packages as they are at release. Updated package versions will be uploaded to the repo opensuse-12.3-update-non-oss. So you need both.

Therefore you will have two or more versions available when a package is in non-oss and and an updated version in update-non-os.
