Did you all install the needed gstreamer plugins for the files you wanted to play?
Yes I think.
$ pacman -Qs gstreamer local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.23-1 GStreamer Multimedia Framework local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.23-1 GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base plugin libraries local/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.23-2 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugins (gst-plugins-base)
However doing pacman -Ss gstreamer isn't exactly friendly. What exactly good, bad and ugly plugins mean? Do I need ffmpeg plugins for mp3?
FWIW, can we just default to xine backend? I don't know much about either of them but one of them got sound and other one didn't. I hope thats not a too- stupid of a request.
I think the request is good. Since I'm just a lowly Arch user, could any of the KDE package maintainers/Arch devs have a say here? From the sounds of it, it appears as though Phonon is still flawed to an extent that it shouldn't be the default.
