This is strange: I can play video files with sound, I can play flash video

or Exaile the progress bar does not move and the file will not play.

I don't know if this is related, but I have two volume icons in my panel,
the one that I added myself and now one in the notification area. They
appear the same, but the icon in my panel has the usual config options,
whereas the icon in the notification area has a minimal menu with prefs
that look like the ones for Pulseaudio.

System is Testing/Unstable.

I don't think Debian ships with mp3 playback out of the box. I don't know
the exact package that handles it. Amarok pulls everything it needs..

$ aptitude search ~dmp3 | grep ^i

libr i A libmad0 - MPEG audio decoder
library i A libmp3lame0 - LAME Ain't an MP3
Encoder i A libmpcdec3 - Musepack (MPC) format

Everything works fine here. I assume one of the above will take care of
everything.

I'm pretty sure I've got everything I need:
