[Bug 64075] Re: amarok can't play flac

[Ben Stanley]

I am using Dapper Drake on amd64 ith a fully updated amarok, and I have
libxine-extracodecs installed. I get the same error message as Jared
Sutton, that is

Error Loading Media
There is no audio channel!

This bug has been the subject of a discussion in the forums
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=125), where the problem
was identified to be xine reporting that flac files have no audio. The
following patch to libxine seems to fix the problem.

Ivomans (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=125postcount=17),
Mentok (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1253322postcount=18),
Jiilik (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1413567postcount=39) and
seem to have built binaries which fix the problem for a great many
people.

A later security patch has required a new build for this bug by ivomans
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1585150postcount=72) and dukeku
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1585289postcount=74).

This problem affects me because a significant part of my collection is
now stored in flac format. I would like to see an official patch to
solve this.

The debs from ivomans (the security-patched ones) linked in the above
post fixed my problem in Dapper.  Thanks Ben :)

Is there a way that we can get this bug re-instated then, since there's
a legitimate problem and solution for Dapper users?

I confirmed this is no longer a problem in Edgy.  However, I installed
(actually re-installed) the libxine-extracodecs package on my Dapper
box, and I'm now getting this slightly different error:

  Error Loading Media
  There is no audio channel!

Brandon, were you testing Dapper or Edgy?
