[NBLUG/talk] What provides Amarok with support for Ogg Vorbis?

[Lincoln Peters]

I ripped a bunch of CD's to as OGG files on a box running Debian/testing.  For 
a while, it was working fine, but a few weeks ago I reinstalled my OS, and I 
can no longer play OGG files in Amarok.  I get a "no suitable demux plugin" 
error any time I try to play an OGG file.

I'm running Amarok 1.4.1 with the Xine engine.  I can play MP3 files but not 
OGG files.  My system does not appear to have any broken dependencies.

I'm guessing that the necessary plug-in somehow wasn't listed as a dependency, 
or it was merely recommended or suggested but didn't have a name that would 
suggest a connection to Ogg Vorbis.

Anyone happen to know which package Amarok needs on Debian in order to play 
OGG files, or any other possible cause of this error?  I'm a bit worried, as 
I've rigged a cron job to make Amarok function as an alarm clock, and if it 
tries and fails to play an OGG file, it can't do a very good job of waking me 
up!


(In case you're wondering, I think the reason I didn't notice anything wrong 
until now is because there are many more MP3 files than OGG files in my 
collection, and MP3 files still play just fine.)
