<?echo Michael Hopcroft managed to take the time to type out the following:

> Red hat 9 has one glaring weakness. the deliberately disabled MP3
> support, making their audio player virtually useless. Worse, the video
> player (which is supposed to have MP3 support) that I just downloaded
> not only won;t play MP3 files (it starts the files but no sound comes
> out) but it won't play the audio track on my video files. Is there
> something in the Red Hat system that blocks out those audio standards
> from ALL pieces of software, or is there some RPM or code I can install
> that would re-enable MP3 and audio?
>
> Before anyone asks, Red Hat did test the sound card successfully.
