Hello,

i am trying to get amarok to for days now.

First it always crashed during scanning my collection. The problem was a bug in taglib which chrased at my mpc files. A bug-report on bugs.kde.org and a few days later the latest cvs version of taglibs works without crashes on all my audio files.

But now a new problem.

i have mp3, flac, mpc and ogg files in my collection.

With the xine engine i can play them all but mpc.

The arts-enigne can play them all but flac (i read it should support flac, here it doesn't (noatun can not play flac either).

The gstreamer-engine doesn't work at all. (For details please read my posting in the gentoo forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=244229).

I need either a solution for my gstreamer problem (the gstreamer devs can not help me, the think it is a gentoo problem) or i need to know how arts can play flac files.

Well, gstreamer should work obviously. But whats the problem with just using xine? I can use either, but use xine because it seems to work better overall.

xine can not play mpc files here.

and xine can not seek in flac files.

ah, sorry, I misread your post.
