    AIFF and Amarok

    Lately I acquired some music that is in the AIFF format. I tried to play it in Amarok, but I keep getting this message:
    No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported.
    file:///home/pingveno/Foo.aiff
    I've tried to trace Amarok's decoding back to its source, but to no avail. Xine's web site says that it supports the AIFF format, so I check did a check using the xine-ui package. Again, I got the error
    -xine engine error-

    There is no demuxer plugin available to handle 'Foo.aiff'.
    Usually this means that the file format was not recognized.
    Autocomplete at bash command line ignored the AIFF files but correctly completed OGG Vorbis files. Just on a hunch I took a look at the output of the playback command line version of ffmpeg, which outputted
    Code:
     Foo.aiff: Error while parsing header
    However, sox converts audio perfectly, though they lack meta info.

    Am I doing something wrong? Or is there some legal thing going on here?
Working...
