I want to be able to play an audio sound or recording (preferably a voice recording I have created) from a file on my Fedora server to a speaker that is connected to the system. The purpose is to alert the night crew when there is a problem. I am running Fedora 5 on my test system. I inserted a music CD on the Fedora 5 system. It began playing the CD using Totem 1.3.92. However, I cannot access files on the CD. Mount shows "automount." There is nothing in the /mnt or /media directories. What is the best way to create an audio file on Fedora and play it using either (1) a C program (preferably), or (2) the shell command line? What is the best program and associated file type to accomplish this under Fedora?
Mplayer, hands down, is the winner as I see it. Nary a burp in the barrel. Ric
