I'd like to get MP3 support working in KDE (I believe this was stripped from kdelibs or perhaps kdemultimedia, along with ID3 tag reading for metadata). Is there any easier way to get this done other than recompiling all of KDE?
Nope. And it's not as easy as setting a flag in the spec file: the source tarball itself has been modified.
BTW: why is this done? In the freetype RPM, for example, the patented bytecode interpreter can be enabled by setting a flag in the spec file. Why not do the same thing for MP3 support?
