The past few weeks, we've seen a lot of users come in and ask those two questions:

a] amarok claims that it cannot find a mp3 decoder
b] how do I playback musepack/mp4/...

I'd like a detailed explanation for popular distro's on how to solve this, both
where to get those packages for the distros that have them available (Ubuntu
world? FreshRPMs has faad) as well as the manual installing of dependencies and
compiling plugins (which would, for example, be required for musepack, since
there's RPMs for the lib but not for the plugin) without screwing up the rest of
the installation (basically ./configure && cd ext/musepack && make all install).

Any volunteers welcome.
