    how to plac flac in amarok

    I have Kubuntu 7.04 installed and up-to-date. Then I was surprised to find out amarok couldn't play flac music files out of box. I tried to install flac and libxine-main1, which was inspired by some posts regarding to some bug in the early version of amarok. Still, I keep getting the error message: "There is no available decoder." Any help?

    Kubuntu 7.04 updated to 2.6.20-16-generic
    KDE 3.5.6
    Amarok 1.4.5
    Flac 1.1.2-5ubuntu2
    libxine-main1 1.1.4-2ubuntu3

    One thing that can easily be done, is to verify that all the required packages for Flac are actually installed on your PC. For the package version you've identified, the following link lists the required packages that need to be installed:

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/source/flac

    If you find that any of the required packages are not installed, mark them for installation.

      Flac works fine as I can play them with other media players such as mplayer. It's just KDE based applications like amarok and kaffine can't play.
