Bug Description

audacious 3.3.4-1 cannot play AMR files with its ffmpeg plugin
(included in audacious-plugins-3.3.4-1ubuntu1)
and libavcodec53 6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2 and ffmpeg 6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2.

That is strange, because ffmpeg supports both AMR-wb and AMR-nb
from ancient release 0.8.

The AMR codecs are included in the libavcodec53-extra package (which was split off because of licensing reasons). Please confirm that you can play the files with that package installed. If not, I will investigate more.

Marking 'Incomplete' until you respond..

it still shows the same error message:

Hmm. Maybe you need libavformat-extra-53 as well?

I would try playing the files with avplay, to see if it is audacious, or a more general ffmpeg/libav issue:
avplay <file>

Okay, I tried the experiment and the files work fine in avplay, but not with audacious.

In Debian, using audacious 3.5.x built from git (and ffmpeg as opposed to libav), all of the files play okay.
