Amarok 1.2.4 errors out on playing any song, like this: ID3v2 header found(size=4273) Guessed format: mpeg Could not load mpeg-decoder This happens for .ogg files, too, so I wonder about the above guess...

Which engine are you using?
Name aKode Engine Library libamarok_aKode-engine Authors Max Howell Email max.howell@methylblue.com Version 1 Framework Version 5
aKode is messy, it is still early software upstream, and at the amaroK level its even earlier, it has been removed from svn amaroK until it becomes stabler upstream. Try out amarok with either gstreamer or xine backends, they are a lot more stable.
gstreamer works normally, so it seems an akode issue, indeed. Closing
