Description Sami Kyöstilä 2009-03-23 19:52:28 UTC 
Version:           2.1-SVN (Debian 2.0.60+svn935422-2) (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-1-686

To reproduce:

1. Open Amarok
2. Click Amarok | Play and choose an MP3 file with an umlaut in its filename (e.g. Röyksopp Happy Up Here.mp3)
3. Press play

Expected outcome: Song starts to play

What actually happens: Nothing is heard, no error message is displayed

More information:

 - The song is played correctly when the umlaut is removed from the filename.
 - I'm using the XINE backend for Phonon.
 - Dragon Player has an identical problem.
 - The song is on an ext3 filesystem using a latin-1 encoding.
 - Other apps like VLC, mplayer and XINE have no problem playing the song.
