amarok 1.1.1-2 not working with gstreamer

Hi.

I have amarok 1.1.1-2 with KDE 3.3.1-1. When amarok is started whether as a regular user or root, an error message box appears:

"GStreamer could not create the element: adder

Please make sure that you have installed all necessary GStreamer plugins (e.g. OGG and MP3) and run 'gst-
register' afterwards."

Amarok itself does launch after clicking 'OK' on the message box.

I have installed the standard gstreamer package, gstreamer 0.8.7-2.

I have also run the command 'gst-register' both as a regular user and as root, but this has no effect.

Any help in understanding and clearing up this problem will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: amarok 1.1.1-2 not working with gstreamer

Hi.

[SOLVED]

I looked for additional amarok/gstreamer packages and found:

extra/gst-ffmpeg 0.8.1.2-1
    GNOME2 Gstreamer Multimedia Framework FFMpeg Plugin
extra/gst-plugins 0.8.5-2
    GNOME2 Gstreamer Multimedia Framework Plugins

Installing these packages solved my problem (BTW: there are a fair number of other packages that are also loaded).
