Kwave doesn't import mp3 files

Asked by Franco Martelli

Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu 13.10 beta2 amd64 port Kwave version:

~$ kwave --version

This is kwave v0.8.10 (compiled for KDE 4.10.3)
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.11.1
Kwave: 0.8.10

In order to have Kwave importing mp3 files I had installed:

ii lame 3.99.5+repack1-3 amd64 MP3 encoding library (frontend)
ii libmad0:amd64 0.15.1b-7ubuntu2 amd64 MPEG audio decoder library
ii libid3-3.8.3c2a 3.8.3-15 amd64 library for manipulating ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags
ii libid3-tools 3.8.3-15 amd64 ID3 Tag Library: Utilities
ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-10build3 amd64 ID3 tag reading library from the MAD project

When I run Kwave from the console I got:

~$ kwave /mnt/pathtomp3/xyz.mp3

This is kwave v0.8.10 (compiled for KDE 4.10.3)
