Public bug reported:
I just installed kubuntu 14.04. I wanted to listen to the mp3 based
audio stream of my favorite radio station. But Amarok didn't play
anything. Instead it stucked and I needed to kill it.
As an Kubuntu proven user I googled and started to look for gstreamer
plugins. Finally I found the fluendo mp3 one which worked fine for me.
But there should be a hint that the data source can not be played back
due to missing plugins. That is really needed to give people a hint
where they have to optimize their system. When a Windoof user switches
to linux the fist thing he might want to do is playing back a mp3 and
the system does not support this. It is ok, but there should be at least
a feedback of the system.
