I am using Dapper Drake on amd64 ith a fully updated amarok, and I have libxine-extracodecs installed. I get the same error message as Jared Sutton, that is
Error Loading Media
There is no audio channel!
This bug has been the subject of a discussion in the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1252222), where the problem was identified to be xine reporting that flac files have no audio. The following patch to libxine seems to fix the problem.

A later security patch has required a new build for this bug by ivomans (http:// ubuntuforums. org/showpost. php?p=1585150& postcount= 72) and dukeku (http:// ubuntuforums. org/showpost. php?p=1585289& postcount= 74).
This problem affects me because a significant part of my collection is now stored in flac format. I would like to see an official patch to solve this.
