[Bug 1293413] Re: amarok does not play wma files in ubuntu 14.04

[Roman]

Brian, that bug is related to the "sessioninstaller" package that was
never installed in my system (I use KUbuntu, maybe sessioninstaller is
not used in KDE?). It cannot be a duplicate of that bug therefore.

However, it was fixed anyway and that is enough for me.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1278284
   Doesn't find gstreamer1.0 codecs

Title:
  amarok does not play wma files in ubuntu 14.04

Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In KUbuntu 14.04, when trying to play a WMA file, Amarok says that it
  needs an additional plugin, e.g. "Decoder Windows Media Audio 8".
  Running the proposed search for the plugin yields no results.

  The bug is likely related to the removal of the package
  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, see bug 1275556. In another system with 14.04,
  where this package was occasionally left from some older installation,
  WMA is played normally. However it seems that the genuine reason is in
  the Amarok itself, which looks not properly tuned to work with the
  updated audio libraries. Other audio players that I have installed can
  play WMA with no error.

  Running "gst-inspect | grep wma" gives only "typefindfunctions:
  video/x-ms-asf: asf, wm, wma, wmv". In the ubuntu 14.04 system with
  the old package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg this command identifies several
  available WMA codecs.
