As I said, I can play mp3s in amarok fine. Only flac files are affected. When trying to open the Phonon Control Panel, amarok just hangs and the panel never opens. Not good. > Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback: Configure Phonon: Backend tab > > Next, if you are still having problems, check to be sure you have the > proper codecs installed for your chosen backend. Xine, VLC and > Gstreamer all require different codecs, unfortunately. phonon in pkgsrc depends on xine-lib and gstreamer. xine-lib has no options for supported codecs in pkgsrc, and I have installed the flac and mp3 backends for gstreamer. > Finally, you can run Amarok from the console: amarok --debug --nofork > .

I put a flac between to mp3 files and pressed "next" on the first one, the flac was skipped, and the second mp3 was played. > If you need to write back, please mention the distro you are using, in > case we've heard something about packaging problems, etc. I'm the maintainer for the amarok pkgsrc package, and I'm using it on NetBSD-5.99.45/amd64.
