[solved] amarok stopped playing mp3's

EDIT: using Xine backend phonon with no problem, except now I have no system notfication sounds, Ah well.

I have my system updated.

Amarok will not play mp3's, although it will play flac's.

I started "amarok --debug" and I see:

amarok:   [EngineController] [WARNING!] Phonon failed to play this URL. Error:  "A required codec is missing. You need to install the following codec(s) to play this content: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3)"

I had no trouble before the update.  I have the codecs.

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Re: [solved] amarok stopped playing mp3's

Same problem here - also for kalarm. Now I will probably oversleep tomorrow.
Well, another file format could solve that problem...
