As I said, I can play mp3s in amarok fine.
Only flac files are affected.

When trying to open the Phonon Control Panel, amarok just hangs and
the panel never opens. Not good.

phonon in pkgsrc depends on xine-lib and gstreamer. xine-lib has no
options for supported codecs in pkgsrc, and I have installed the flac
and mp3 backends for gstreamer.

The output is attached. I put a flac between to mp3 files and pressed
"next" on the first one, the flac was skipped, and the second mp3 was
played.

I'm the maintainer for the amarok pkgsrc package, and I'm using it on
NetBSD-5.99.45/amd64.
