to enjoy high fidelity output from your computer. This includes
|

the ability to record and playback audio in the MPEG Audio Layer
|
||
3 (MP3), WAV, and Ogg Vorbis formats as well as many other
|

formats. The &pkgsrc; collection also contain applications

formats. The &pkgsrctree; also contain applications

allowing you to edit your recorded audio, add sound effects, and

control attached MIDI devices.</para>

to encode, convert, and playback various video media is more

limited than the number of sound applications. For example as
|

of this writing, there is no good re-encoding application in the
|

FreeBSD Ports Collection, which could be use to convert
|
||
&pkgsrctree;, which could be use to convert
|
||
between formats, as there is with <filename

role="package">audio/sox</filename>. However, the software
|

landscape in this area is changing rapidly.</para>
