Audio is alive and well on Linux systems. Most of the programs we’ll cover have intuitive user interfaces, tons of features, and reasonable documentation, so we won’t discuss them in detail. Mainly, we want you to have a taste of what’s available and possible. Some comprehensive web sites devoted to Linux audio and MIDI are http://linux-sound.org/ and http://www.xdt.com/ar/linux-snd .
Fedora does not include any video players but you can download and install them. Some popular ones are mpg123 (http://www.mpg123.de/), smpeg (http://www.lokigames.com/development/) and mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu).
