No Audio from Amarok - other apps seem fine.

[Gar]

I haven't had Amarok work since Fedora 9. Today I got a big update to KDE, but still
no sound from Amarok.  I'm using Fedora 10, 32 bit version on a Shuttle XPC. 

I thought I recalled something about an alsa plugin, but I have that already.
rpm -qa |grep pulse
pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.2-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386
kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.1-6.20090206svn.fc10.noarch

Amarok is amarok-2.0.1.1-1.fc10.i386

When I launch Amarok and attempt to play a playlist of mp3 tunes stored in my home
directory, the progress bar in Amarok goes at warp speed - a 5 minute tune plays in less
than 5 seconds, and of course there's that whole no audio thing going on.  Since this
seems to be isolated just to Amarok, it could be related to the warp speed playback. Audio
in all other applications seems to work just fine.

Thanks for any insights.

Anything not mp3?

rpm -q xine-lib xine-lib-extras-freeworld

(hint: fedora doesn't support mp3 out of the box).

That was it, thank you.  I thought I had mp3 taken care of since rhythmbox did play mp3s
but apparently they must use different backends.

Yes, Amarok uses xine-lib (directly in Amarok 1.4, through Phonon in Amarok
2), Rhythmbox uses GStreamer.

Yep, let yum do the magic for you, once you have rpmfusion enabled,

yum update @sound-and-video

Someday, we may have a chance to do the work to make the 
auto-codec-install from PackageKit magic happen (like what gstreamer 
does now).
