[packman] Fwd: Amarok & mp3-Files

By the way:

The original Situation where I discovered that issue was: I was burning
an AudioCD with K3B and was doublechecking the selected Files with
Amarok (since K3B unfortunately does not play the files directly).

So I assumed the CD was broken. An hour ago I decided I was curious
about what the CD sounds like on my Hifi-Rack.

Guess what: All fine. So despite the fact that Amarok does not play the
file, K3B was burning it to AudioCD flawlessly.

I don't know where to start looking?!?!

Hi all,

I tried to play a mp3 file from 7digital.com in Amarok (Suse 11.4/64
with packman-codecs) but the sound was heavily disturbed. Playing in
Totem: Same issue.

Other files from the same source: Perfectly fine.

I tried the same files under Ubuntu 10/04 with Totem: All work fine.

So i assume it is an issue with the Packman codecs?!?

The "damaged" file has following media-info:
