I checked my yum.conf and both the = repos's Janina mentioned were there, but commented out. I gotta change my punctuation level when doing this kind of work. A couple of = questions though. =20 Janina said these new repos would be in two different files, but I only = have the yum.conf file. Do different flavors of linux configure yum = differently? I am using fc2. Next, one of the comments in my yum.conf file said that removing the comments from the freshrpms might cause conflicts with fedora.us and I = may need to comment out the fedora.us if I use freshrpms. Should I do this? =20 Oh, what's the best setup when using speakup with vi? When I type = speakup reads the status line. I turned off speakup with the speakup-NumEnter = but this didn't seem the best solution. Anyway, mplayer started working after I did "yum update mplayer". Again, thanks to all.

Subject: Re: System-config-soundcard Hi Ken: I think you should try to get mplayer working. MPlayer is the best, = most powerful audio/video player I have ever seen. =20 The repos that Janina has given you are very good. Specially, the freshrpms.net repository has great mplayer rpms. One=20 thing though, the pre-compiled mplayer is going to be a little slower = than if you compile mplayer your self. However,=20 it is a very good place to start. Also, when you compile mplayer your self you can add one of the codec packages from the mplayer home page=20 (www.mplayerhq.hu) that will add lots of functionality to your install. With these codecs, you will be able to play=20 windows media 9, quicktime 6, real audio 9, and a bunch of the other = more obscure formats out there. Anyway, if you want a quick mp3/mp2/mp1 audio player, you can try to = install a little program called "mpg321". After=20 you have your yum repos configured, you should be able to just do: # yum install mpg321 MPG321 has no fw/rw/pause/etc controls, but it is great to play mp3's in = the background and to convert to wave...
