Can "Media page" play music or videos? I think that it cannot do it.
The desktop steam has a music player to listen the game music of some games that can be bought.

Sadly my current favourite media player, Strawberry, didn't fit the deck so well once in "game mode" (used as a launcher). However, I found the best one fit for launching from the decks "game mode" was Elisa[2] it's pretty lightweight and can be used easily from game mode. It was a good solution for simply playing music.
Otherwise of course you can use any other music player via desktop mode if you prefer!
[1] Or at least, I haven't found it? Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to know where it is!

You are correct, there is no media player yet. If you attempt to navigate to a soundtrack on Deck, then you will get an error saying that Steam soundtrack support has not been added yet.
