• Xine & Mplayer Update
  
  For more information on playing DVD on Linux, you can check out this article -- GNU/Linux DVD Player Review, by Jon Kent at LinuxJournal, Jon Kent
  
  Note: The Xine version that comes with mdk9 is 0.9.13, some of the rpms from PLF are for verion 1.0beta-0, make sure you install the xine plugins for the former version. Also there are Win32, DiVX, Xvid, DeCSS plugins+codecs available. The Win32 plugin+codec will allow you to access Windows movie formats! Now you can enjoy movie/game trailers on Xine as your buddies on Windows can. The same goes for Mplayer.

• MIDI - For SB Live User:
  
  awesfx & awesfx-devel package (from mdk9 cd)
  alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.5rc1_2mdk (from mdk9 cd)
  
  You can perform MIDI playback as good as you did on Windows, with soundfont support! This article illustrates the steps to do so -- SB Live/Audigy MIDI mini-how-to with ALSA
  
  If you connect 4 speakers to your SB Live, you will need the alsamixergui package to enable surround sound with the two rear speaker output.
  
  
• playmidi, playmidi-X11 (from mdk9 cd)
  
  For non-SB Live users, playmidi can perform midi playback on your system, it supports SB16, GUS, AWE32/64 (so does the previous awesfx package), external MIDI. However, it's a commandline-only tool; another author and I are working on an XMMS-playmidi plugin (actually I only did some testing and reporting error :p), so stay tuned . . ..
  
  
• Broadcast 2000 (from mdk9 cd, source)
  
  Broadcast 2000 is a full-feature video-audio editor, released in 2000. At that time it was pretty advanced and even being used by some movie studio to do some serious work - but that's exactly what got it into trouble: from what I've heard, it seemed that someone who used it in big-budget production wanted the author to hold responsible for liabilities (remember all GNU/GPL software tools are come with no warranty), which the author would not or could not afford to do so, hence he removed it from his site. Now it is being replaced by Cinelerra (see above).
  
  However, Broadcast 2000 still performs very good as an audio editor. As it comes with Mandrake, you might just want to play with it.
  
  
• xmms-alsa, xmms-writer (from mdk9 cd)
  
  Two xmms output plugins: xmms-alsa will use alsa (instead of OSS compatibility mode) as the output interface, while xmms-writer will write wav file to your harddrive instead of audio playback.
  
  
• Rosegarden, Audacity, Noteedit, Ardour and many other excellent audio apps. See this link.

• Blender 3D
  
• Wings3D (mdk rpms - type ahead find 'Wings3d', draft manual)
  
• Moonlight3d
  
  These are some of the open source 3d packages available on Linux. In particular, Blender3D became open source in October 2002. Even these packages are relatively small (compared to the big 3d commercial packages), don't overlook their excellent features and speed. You might be surprised when looking at a screenshot of a scene rendered by them. There are other 3d packages and independent renderers out there; hang around certain 3d forums and you will find them.
