Thank you very much.

They do, but you have to select "Use external program" in the "system notification" options in order to hear them.  For OSS commercial, the program is "play".  For ALSA, the command is "aplay".  However, pretty much any command line audio file player program will work here.

For a pretty good list of sound and music programs you can use, here's a link:
http://www.linux-sound.org
This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything available, but it gives a good picture of the things that are available.  It also gives links to further information and howto documents.

musician?... what type of musician are you?

Pretty much whatever type you need me to be.  ;)

I'm classically trained on piano (B.A. in Music), but I also play guitar, and I listen to alternative rock mostly (but not all the time).  But I like all kinds of music, and I like to write music, both rock music and classical-style music.

choasforages:
do you do any work on opensource projects that need soundwork.

emh:
Not really.  I don't have any programming experience beyond Applesoft BASIC.  ;)

That being said, if I'm using a program and find a bug, I report it to whoever takes bug reports on a program.  But I don't have the knowledge or training to program things in myself.
