Ok, I forgot to mention that! Until now i'm not really sure how to solve this. The postinst script restarts the osso-media-server, but it seems that this is not enough! (it's curious. sometimes i needed no restart after installing this stuff. mmmhh...)
Does someone know what services else have to be reloaded?

ad 1: how did you install this package? from console or with the packagemanager (red/blue pill?)? any error messages?
(please install the package in xterm and post the install messages!)

ad 2: ok, i will try to work on that! the build in id3lib is not compatible with ogg! so enableing this feature in gconf doesn't make sense (playblack will fail!).

ad 3: i didn't expect any thing else

I just have the hope (!) that nokia will release a dspsink for ogg-vorbis playing. So i don't want to spend too much work on this. I made no diffs and can't offer any adapted sources for working on this. So posting this debs on garage doesn't help you
Like i posted: all i have done is to follow the "getting started" docs!
If someone wants to compile this in scratchbox or wants to debug this thing you'll only have to follow these instructions! Perhaps if you have some problems while compiling i will try to help you.
