What about Ubuntu Studio? From what I've heard

quite good when it comes to audio and as they are related to
Ubuntu/Debian their general package base should be huge.
I might try Ubuntu again. I've tried it twice. I'm not all
that happy with Gnome in practice, though I like Gnome a lot in
theory. I used to hate KDE in practice, but Mandriva has made it
better, even through the KDE4 transition. It's tolerable now,
and it suits my wife best with her Windows past.
I don't know about PLF, but I've
successfully used
mplayer/mencoder and other small utilities to convert
proprietary formats into open formats.
That's good to hear.
I'm not sure about official mplayer packages, but
I'm sure
there should be some packages. I always compile it from source.
Doesn't it all go back to what codecs you have installed?
PLF was a really good place to get all the codecs needed and
packages, like mplayer/mencoder/gstreamer, that were all built in
the same environment at the same time as those codecs.
I hope this helps, although not realted to your
first
choices.
Yes, it's useful. Thanks....
