------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The default installation of Fedora includes '''Rhythmbox''' and
'''Totem''' for media playback. The Fedora repositories include
many other popular programs such as the '''XMMS''' player and
KDE's '''amaroK'''. Both GNOME and KDE have a selection of
players that can be used with a variety of formats. Third parties may offer additional
programs to handle other formats.
Fedora also takes full advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sound
system. Many programs can play sound simultaneously, which was once difficult on Linux
systems. When all multimedia software is configured to use ALSA for sound support, this
limitation disappears. For more information about ALSA, visit the project website at
http://www.alsa-project.org/. Users may still experience issues when multiple users log
into the system. Depending upon hardware and software configurations, multiple users may
not be able to use the sound hardware simultaneously.

- '''Helix Player''' has been removed from this release since it
duplicates the functionality of '''Totem'''.
'''Totem''' also uses the '''GStreamer'''
media framework, which is used by other multimedia applications in Fedora. With
'''GStreamer''', users can easily add support for additional
codecs to all included applications.
