If they used replacement libraries accurately and others package
doesn't harcode the path of theses library (using rpath, which will be
an error from the fedora package itself). It should work.

Either you should be able to install them from the fedora repository,
or you can install vlc-core and vlc with --nodeps

Support for Linpus ends here. (we don't support this OS at RPMFusion IMO)...
