This was already answered in this mailing list, to summarize, reason for 
this is mostly to force packet maintainers in different distros to 
compile asf/mp4 with taglib, thus giving all amarok users the same 
amarok with same abilities.. its nothing that bad at all, you'll just 
have to pass two words to taglib configure options. ( -DWITH_ASF=On 
-DWITH_MP4=On )
