Review request for Amarok.


Description
-------

While it seemed to work a while ago (before it was merged to trunk), I recently found that the new ipod manager cannot transcode tracks when sending them to my iPod. I spent some time debugging it and was able to find the cause:

The -map_meta_data option was depricated as of ffmpeg 0.7 and removed in 0.10. Additionally, as far as I can tell the options specified did nothing but explicitly confirm the default option of copying infile metadata to outfile metadata. Please let me know if I'm mistaken about this conclusion.

I also made some small changes to the debug output that should make things slightly cleaner. 

When pulling, please use branch fixTranscode at git://github.com/orangejulius/amarok.git as it has separate commits ready to go :)
