My impression is that the developers of Fedora, on which YDL 4 is based, 
made the decision to change the sound architecture significantly (at 
least, sound did not work for me when I tried to install Fedora RC2 on 
my Intel machine), and that decision got relayed down the chain to Terra 
Soft's non-implementation of sound in YDL 4.0. It's not entirely Terra 
Soft's fault.

That being said, what *were* they thinking? (I address this rhetorical 
question to both Red Hat and Terra Soft.) And what's up with not 
supporting MP3 playback?

Best wishes,
Clint
