Hi, I recently upgraded to 1.4-beta_2. I am currently having issues playing mp3\'s with xine. Problem is, when I try to run any mp3 amarok freezes and generates a bug report (m4a\'s play though (haven\'t tried anything else)). I recompiled xine and amarok to no avail... I then thought it was ffmpeg, which I recompiled along with xine and amarok again. I have also tried switching to gstreamer, but it won\'t show alsa as an option for some reason.

I am using Gentoo 2005.1 as well.

ok I fixed it. I wasn\'t getting any replies, so I decided to redouble my efforts. I ran gdb and saw that libavcodec seemed to be the blame, but I originally thought that was part of ffmpeg. Running emerge -pv xine-lib showed that I didn\'t have mad enabled though! I changed that, and now mp3s can play again.
