@Harald Sitter:

Of course, you are right concerning the MP3 patents. But as far as I
know, libxine1-ffmpeg is not what installs MP3 support, but only a
plugin for xine to use ffmpeg (and therefore free software which is in
the main repo).

If libxine1-ffmpeg is not installed, Amarok is not able to play MP3 even
if you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, from what the user expects to
make MP3 work - an unexperienced user would never get the idea of
installing libxine1-ffmpeg.

Is there any reason not to recommend libxine1-ffmpeg in the Amarok
package?
