I don't know what xine packages are available for Ubuntu, but a quick search
revealed a package called "libxine-extracodecs". Try installing that. If
that doesn't work, you might want to reinstall amarok-xine afterwards. I
don't know, because I got so sick of dealing with that kind of thing on
OpenSUSE that I just compile xine by hand on non-source distributions. There
might be an amarok-gstreamer package you could try.
