I used amarok 1.3.6 with the xine engine until yesterday. Yesterday I recompiled amarok, xine-lib and ffmpeg. Now amarok plays file .rm files over the rtp protocol (thanks to binary codecs) but crashes when it starts playing an mp3 file.

Build xine-lib with +mad, that should fix it.
Gioele: did it crash when you upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.x? That's what did it to me (I think). I'm going to downgrade to xine-lib-1.0.x and see if that fixes it. I might try the +mad USE flag thing after.
Downgrading to 1.0.x will solve, because mad in that case is always built... Please try with +mad, that will solve correctly the problem, I'm almost sure.
Thanks for the help, +mad solved this issue. I added +mad to the list of xine-lib flags. Can't xine-lib use the ffmpeg mp* decode ability?
Unfortunately it seems like not.
maybe you could display a warning when you build or after the build of amarok, if the mad use-flag hasn't been set for xine-lib ? I experienced this problem too. I always thought amarok wasn't compatible with newer version of xine-lib, so I kept downgrading or masking.
I've added a warning in xine-lib. For the rest I can't do any much... try to ask amaroK upstream if they can check if xine-lib has or not mp3 support before playing, but I'm not sure if it's possible anyway.
isn't it possible to add a use-flag check to the amarok ebuild ? so if you try to merge amarok with the xine flag, but xine doesn't have the mad flag, exit, or stop for 2secs and display a warning ? the php ebuild f.ex. does that ... anyway...thnx for your help
