My problem apparently wasn't related to this bug. I had sound in Kde, but no multimedia application would work. I had read some advice about installing a libxine-extracodecs but it wouldn't show up in Adept.
I eventually understood I had to add the "multiverse" repository to my settings. I then installed the libxine-extracodecs package and amarok now works. I'm such a noob :( -- Dapper: Sound doesn't work properly https://launchpad.net/bugs/35460 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
