== Multimedia Players ==
- The default installation of Fedora Core includes
'''Rhythmbox''', '''Totem''' and
'''Helix Player''' for media playback. Many other programs are
available in the Fedora Core and Fedora Extras repositories, including the popular
'''XMMS''' player and KDE's
'''amaroK'''. Both GNOME and KDE have a selection of players that
can be used with a variety of formats. Additional programs are available from third
parties 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.

== 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.
