Media codec playback

Is there a good guide that can help me setup my computer for mp3/ogg/wma playback?

Got Arch up and running, everything working and loving it

it depends on what app u r using / backend...
many apps will use gstreamer these days,
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/searc … 10&start=0 << gstreamer plugins, just install what seems necesary to you..

it is very usefulle to install the codecs, pkg..

 pacman -S codecs gstreamer0.10-pitfdll

the latter pkg, allows gstreamer to use the binary codecs. so u get apps like totem (gstreamer backend) to play wmv, mov, rm, etc.

I installed them, open rhythmbox, didn't work.

Rebooted, worked.

Same with my sound configuration.

i don't think u needed to reboot, there is most like a setting in rb to change the engine..

but anyways; is it all working now:?:
