Maybe you have not heard about the changes in audacity? It now collects and shares our data. Even though it is used almost entirely offline, requires no connection for actual users working at home. Audacity is now at least non-free in the GNU/Linux sense of the term. For what it's worth, I have purged all dmo packages from Debian Multimedia, have gone with straight Debian packages, and none of my multimedia so far are working. I cannot play online radio on my laptop, but use my phone (thanks to the gods) to listen to my usual shows. However, connection with my phone is rather spotty compared to using a desktop connection. I am collecting any codecs or libraries I might be missing, but I keep getting the same results. For online radio, I use qmmp; but online radio stations connect, buffering goes up to 100% then they die. When I try to play music files on my machine (using audacious), nothing happens at all; it starts, then holds steady at zero time, 00:00:00. So yes, you are right, they are available, but no, you are also wrong about my case (which totally mystifies myself, as well), because at the moment none of my multimedia actually work. I keep trying other items, smplayer, vlc, just to see if it is system-wide or isolated to certain players, but no luck at all.
