+ Fedora 11 ships with support for Ogg Vorbis, Theora, FLAC,
+ and Speex, giving you the freedom to watch or listen to your
+ media in a free format. Not only are they all open source
+ but no codec that ships with Fedora contains any harmful
+ patents or licensing fees.

+ <term>MP3 and Flash</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Because of patent issues Fedora can not ship with an MP3
+ decoder, however if you are unable to convert to a patent
+ free codec, such as Ogg Vorbis, Fluendo offers an MP3
+ decoder that follows all legal requirements set by the
+ patent holder. Visit Fluendo's website (<ulink type="http"
+ url="http://www.fluendo.com/">http://www.fluendo.com/</ulink>)
+ for more information.

+ Abode's Flash player is proprietary software and Fedora
+ recommends installing either <package>swfdec</package> or
+ <package>gnash</package> from the repositories.

+ <term>Volume Control</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ An updated volume control manager application provides you
+ with more control over your audio preferences. Better
+ integrated with PulseAudio, you can now control individual
+ application inputs and outputs along with the sources and
+ destinations for the audio.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ With the removal of <package>gnome-volume-manager</package>,
+ you may be left without an obvious way to adjust ALSA sound
+ levels after an upgrade. If they are set too low, raising
+ the PulseAudio sound levels may not work acceptably. The way
+ to deal with this is to install
+ <package>alsa-utils</package> and run <command>alsamixer
+ -c0</command> from a shell prompt. To access the recording
+ channels rather than the playback channels (for instance, to
+ select which input you wish to record from) run
+ <command>alsamixer -c0 -Vcapture</command>. The
+ <package>alsamixer</package> program has a
+ <package>curses</package> text-based user interface to
+ adjust sound levels for ALSA devices. Once
+ <package>alsamixer</package> is running, get help by typing
+ a question mark.
