Pursuant to this thread, I was trying to make amorok work over the last 
few days, and it apparently uses the xine stuffs for codecs.  A friend of
mine has the xine-lib-extra-nonfree package installed which make amarok 
work fine for oggs.  His yum claims it came from livna. But on inspecting 
the whole visible livna site last night, non of that general category of 
stuff was available, so as far as I'm concerned, amarok, pretty as it is, 
is hosed if it cannot handle the ogg format.

So what has happened to livna, did they get a takedown notice?
