mp3 audio / video problem

[Cian Duffy]

Err, I'm running 4.0, with the latest official kernel recompiled with
OSS Emulation for ALSA. I have system sounds, I have in-game sounds, I
have RealPlayer 10 sound, I have VLC sound. It was a messup and a typo
in modprobe.conf that caused there to be no sound. I've played DVD's,
MPEG's, Quicktime, AVI's, CD's, MP3's and Vorbis files.

Off topic - are you using online.ie just for their storage or are you
Irish also?

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.
