Enable mp3 playback with Amarok on Ubuntu 9.10

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop. When I tried to play some mp3 files with Amarok 2.2.0, it didn’t make any sound though it played ogg without a problem.

Thanks to this post, mp3 play back can be enabled by installing libxine1-ffmpeg.

$ sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
