mp3 audio / video problem

[Jeff Yowell]

It doesn't work because the developers for Yellow Dog decided not to have any sound support in version 4.0. You cannot play CDs, DVDs, MP3s, AVIs, or any other sound-producing thing or file on any computer using Yellow Dog.  Nor can you have any system sounds.  It is strictly a "visual" operating system. 

Now, as for why they did this, you may need to ask them.  Apparently, though, they just don't like any noise.
