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 Core 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. @@ -32, +32 @@ == Extended Support through Plugins == - Most of the media players in Fedora Core and Fedora Extras support the use of plugins to add support for additional media formats and sound output systems. Some use powerful backends, like the `gstreamer` package, to handle media format support and sound output. Plugin packages for these backends and for individual applications are available in Fedora Core and Fedora Extras, and additional plugins may be available from third parties to add even greater capabilities. + Most of the media players in Fedora Core and Fedora Extras support the use of plugins to add support for additional media formats and sound output systems.
