For torrents, I installed transmission from the sources. I didn't succeed in making firefox to make use of mplayer, apparently it uses totem, more or less efficiently. For the sake of the archives, gnome-volume-control comes w/ the gnome-media package. You might need to check at atrpms repo for other software. Regards, -- wwp
