Audio/Video
Notes:
MPlayer is arguably one of the best all-round multimedia applications. It will play virtually any audio/video file you throw at it (mp3, ogg, wav, au, avi, mpg, wma, mov, DVD and VideoCD formats), encode from a format to another (e.g. avi to mpg and vice-versa), rip DVDs to disk and convert them to .avi, downsample video/audio files, cut/paste video/audio streams, etc, etc, etc.
XMMS is the de facto audio player for GNU/Linux systems – it supports mp3, ogg and wav formats, and is skinnable and pluggable like WinAmp. It just doesn't have the spy-/junk-ware that come with WinAmp!
GNUsound is an audio-editing application, similar to the non-free Adobe Audition. You can record, edit or remaster your own music, and do many other things that I don't even understand (not a musician here, sorry :-)
