I'm stumped.
Using the repo version, amarok will spit an error about missing ffmpeg to the 
console. No surprise there..

So I built my own version with the packages I mentioned, but I still
cannot get the transcode window to appear even if I move flac's and wav
files to my USB stick. However, this build of amarok does not complain
about missing ffmpeg in console.

I wish I could help more with this bug, but I'll admit I find the Amarok
interface and the whole "collection" concept confusing and unintuitive.
Amarok's lack of control over the transcode dialog is simply maddening.
I should just be able to right-click a track and have a transcode
option.

I guess this is why I prefer Clementine for a "library" player...

** Changed in: amarok (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- amarok needs to build-depend on libav packages for transcode support
+ amarok lacks transcode support
