Description Martin Mrazik 2005-08-16 09:30:22 UTC 
I have problems with playing my mp3s on SuSE 10 beta1.

The KDE sounds are fine (I can successfully test the sound using KDE control
center and the "Test sound" button) but if I try to play something using xmms or
Noatun (or amarok) I am unable to play anything.

If I try to play something using mpg123 (this is directly writing to /dev/dsp)
everything goes fine.

Comment 2 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-16 11:01:14 UTC 
Seems to be DUPLICATE of #98758. But it seems there is nothing like "multimedia
pack" for SL 10.0 to correct this problem.
Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2005-08-18 10:01:28 UTC 
Try an ogg file instead of mp3.  If it works, the problem is likely the lack of
mp3 support.
Comment 4 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-18 10:09:56 UTC 
Yes it is definitely a lack mp3 support. Ogg plays fine. But how can be this
problem solved and why it is not working by default?
Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2005-08-18 10:11:50 UTC 
Because mp3 is the "gray zone" regarding licneses/patents.
The official player supporting mp3 per default is only realplay.
Comment 6 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-18 10:15:41 UTC 
does this mean the users won't be able to play their mp3s on OSS/SL 10 ?
Comment 7 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-18 10:16:27 UTC 
ah... but realplay is not playing mp3s as well...
Comment 8 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-18 10:17:42 UTC 
sorry. Please ignore my last comment. Realplay works fine.
Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2005-08-18 10:21:42 UTC 
AFAIK, the policy isn't changed since 9.3.  They will be available after
installing "multimedia pack" via YOU.
Comment 10 Egbert König 2005-11-13 12:28:51 UTC 
but there is no multimedia pack offered in YOU. Instead I had to search packman for the needed additions. Would be great, if you will offer multimedia packs again, like you did for SuSE 9.3.
