Bug 311228

Hi,

I have to convert files from FLAC to MP3 using Amarok. However, i can't select MP3, OGG or AAC codec in the list, since they are described as "not currently available on your system". 

FFmpeg and lame are installed. I've just had a look into the source code of amarok and it seems that it uses the output of the command "ffmpeg -codecs" to check if the encoder is installed. For mp3, a function looks for a line with ".EA... libmp3lame" in this output (found it in the file TranscodingMp3Format.cpp). In my output of ffmpeg -codecs, i don't have this line but : 

 DEA.L. mp3                  MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) (decoders: mp3 mp3float ) (encoders: libmp3lame )

Amarok doesn't exactly find ".EA... libmp3lame" so it must expect libmp3lame is not installed.
However, i'm quite sure it is installed as i can convert files to mp3 format with ffmpeg command.

I guess it might be due to a change in ffmpeg -codecs output, maybe an update of ffmpeg to clear this output by grouping encoders and decoders of a same codec in a same line. 
I've seen other outputs of ffmpeg -codecs on the web with older versions of ffmpeg and they indeed have a line for the encoder : libmp3lame and another line for the decoder : mp3.

I notice the same things with Vorbis codec (libvorbis and vorbis grouped).
Flac, Apple Lossless and WMA work fine, because the output is the same in ffmpeg -codecs than the one expected by amarok.

Does anybody can reproduce this, or did I forgot to do something in order to make it work ?

Thanks to the Amarok team for offering us such an amazing software :)
