It being a binary is really the main problem. Back in the day when I
was designing the scripting system, I thought it was a good idea to
keep it open to any kind of exectutable. I now regret this decision
and I wish we would have forced the use of scripting languages.

Amarok 2 will very likely no longer support binary "scripts", so
please please use a scripting language (a portable one, not Bash) for
the next version of transKode. We could probably assist you with
porting to QtRuby.
