Amarok MP3 Support?

[Amichai Rotman]

Following your instruction, I entered 'xine' to the find box and this is
what it found, regarding February:

Commit Log for Fri Feb 27 10:48:41 2009


Installed the following packages:
libxine1-all-plugins (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2)
libxine1-gnome (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2)
libxine1-plugins (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2)
xine-ui (0.99.5+cvs20070914-2)

I have re-installed these packages after purging them as part of the
debugging process. My last major upgrade happened on Thu Jul 17 22:42:56
2008, and was able to play MP3 files since then...

In between I have installed the Fluendo Streaming Server package. I think
that's what messed things up for me...

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
