[kde-freebsd] Phonon won't play mp3

[David Naylor]

Hi,

I cannot get Amarok, or any other phonon-based player, to play MP3s.  Amarok 
declares that "Phonon claims it *cannot* play MP3 files.  You may want to 
examine the installation that phonon uses.  ...".  Ogg files play without a 
problem and VLC media player can play MP3 files.  

I have the following installed:
# pkg info -q amarok gstreamer gstreamer-plugins-all gstreamer-plugins-mp3 \
... kde phonon phonon-gstreamer phonon-vlc
amarok-2.5.0_3
gstreamer-0.10.36
gstreamer-plugins-all-1.3.0.10.1_13
gstreamer-plugins-mp3-0.10.0_1
kde-4.8.4
phonon-4.6.0_1
phonon-gstreamer-4.6.0_1
phonon-vlc-0.5.0_1

I have tried both vlc and gstreamer backends as preferred and neither work 
(also, the gstreamer backend causes amarok to crash [sig 11] on exit).  I have 
checked that the mimetype is audio/mpeg for the mp3 file and that both 
phononbackends/(gstreamer|vlc).desktop support it.  

Please help.  

Regards
