Ahh from the searching I did it seems that Amarok uses xine in the backend, and I saw some references to configuring it. but it was always pretty vague. libxine was the library needed for ogg playback. apparently this issue has come up several times in the past on Mandriva, not sure why that distro came up with this particular issue more than the others.
