I need to know where most of the programs like xine,kaffiene and brassero look for codecs.

That depend on if you are talking hardware drivers or really about software for different media formats. I always suggest you start by reading this thread:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide
Most everything to use restricted formats comes from Packman. You can find their repositories located here:
Additional package repositories - openSUSE
Finally, I do have a script file that can help determine if your multimedia is configured properly:
MMCHECK - Check Your Multimedia in 10 Steps - Script File, as proposed by RedDwarf
Thank You,

code:
rpm -qa | grep xine
Find the rpms containing the codecs and list them. Easy.
Or have a look at the files in ~/.xine/, there is a catalog.cache with
interesting info.
Or xine --help. There is one that lists the plugins
