[Bug 91229] [feisty] Amarok doesn't read vorbis tags

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

I installed the latest herd (and dist-upgraded to ensure I had the most up to date development build) and while nearly everything works, amarok doesn't seem to be able to recognize any tags in ogg vorbis files.  It can play the files just fine, but when I go to edit track information, no tags are defined (it doesn't even know the track length!).  On the amarok playlist window, files I drag in just have the file name shown, and the build collection function runs, but ends up not defining any songs in the collection.  (almost certainly since the directory I point it to only has ogg vorbis files).  Note:  mp3s are read fine with all of their respective tags fully recognized.
I am using the xine engine since that seems to be the only engine available in feisty's repos.  (and the one installed by default) 
On edgy eft, this problem is not present.

The version # of the faulty amarok is 1.45, and the version # of a
functional amarok under edgy is 1.44.  I cannot seem to find any other
reports of this issue in any other web forums, but I have been able to
recreate this issue with more than one load of feisty fawn kubuntu.

Please let me know if any further information/testing/etc is needed.

Thank you
