The only thing that I didn't have installed is the kubuntu-restricted-extras, 
which I installed some 10 minutes ago.  It removed two packages (libavcodec-
extra-52 and libavcodec-unstripped-52). Still cannot play flac in Amarok.  

What is strange for me is that other players I have installed (Kaffeine, 
KMplayer, GNOME Mplayer) do play flac files. Could it be something with Amarok? 
I looked at the settings there but didn't find anything meaningful to the 
topic.
