kaffeine has begun to look kind of shabby. I always installed it, as xine
appeared to have the most complete set of codecs. Can other programs now
deal
with everything that xine/kaffeine was a fallback for? (Sorry, I have no
actual
examples, off the top of my head)
xine-lib is a requisite for xine-lib-extras-freeworld. Will amarok be using
a
different library to play mp3 in f16?
So far as i am aware amarok just uses phonon for playback (since 2.0) so if
you use phonon-backend-xine then it uses xine and if you use
phonon-backend-gstreamer it uses gstreamer and phonon-backend-vlc uses vlc.
Hence xine-lib-extras-freeworld should make no difference to amarok when
using the default backend anyway. You probably want gstreamer-plugins-* in
f15+ (or whenever phonon-backend-gstreamer became the default) unless you
changed the back end manually.
