CentOS - Dec 2006 - Multimedia setup for LTSP

Hi all,

I'm setting up a CentOS 4 in AMD64 box. The goal is to mount a terminal
server with LTSP software. Currenlty I'm in troubles with the multimedia
support. I've added Dag's, Karanbir's and Dries' repositories
according
that.

?Is there some intention to make a multimedia group as others groups
(FTP Server, Web Server... etc)? It would be great.

?What packages do you recommend to me for that (I supose lame, mplayer...)?

?Is there any way to install w32codecs package in my AMD64 box?

TIA.

I am much more familiar with 32 bit and would tend to lean towards
Fedora Core 6 (or maybe wait for CentOS 5) for workstations wanting to
run media content but it would seem that you would need to install a
media player application like mplayer or vlc. I don't know of any group
list for installing them.

Anyway, this should somewhat work for (recalling from Fedora)...

video
yum install mplayer mplayerplug-in mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts

audio
yum install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-aac xmms-skins

lame probably works too.
