yes, it has changed, following the menu system.
however, with mp3's, it should be working :-(
if you see a "kmp3" icon it really should be working..
now, with the new menu system, programs provide their kde mimetype that
way:
[gc@obiwan ~] cat /usr/lib/menu/kmp3
?package(kmp3): needs="x11" section="Multimedia/Sound" title="kmp3" longtitle="K
Desktop Environment player for MP3 audio files" command="/usr/bin/kmp3" icon=kmp3.xpm
kde_mimetype="audio/x-mp1;audio/x-mp2;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-playlist;"
however, try to launch "kmp3" in a console, and see if you get a
segmentation fault -> this is a known bug of kmp3 when it has no access to
the soundcard. It is probably what happened to you. Try this to verify
that your soundcard is correctly configured:
cat /usr/share/sndconfig/sample.au > /dev/audio
if not, try to launch "hardware configuration" under DrakConf ; if it
fails, try with "sndconfig".
