Title:
  amarok lacks transcode support

Status in amarok package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Amarok 2.8 in (K)Ubuntu trusty is unable to transcode files before
  copying them to an iPod.

  When running amarok, on console we get the following error:
  "amarok: [CollectionLocation] FFmpeg is not installed or does not support any of the required formats. "

  
  As there is no more ffmpeg packages on Ubuntu, we can't install it to fix the problem this way. 
  I tried to make a symbolic link of avconv to ffmpeg (ln -s /usr/bin/avconv /usr/bin/ffmpeg) but that doesn't fix the problem.

  I've also installed the following packages:

  Hopping that will fix the problem, but it still happen.

  
  The step to reproduce are simple:
  1) install amarok (2.8)
  2) Put in your local collection somes audios file in flac/ogg/.. 
  3) Try to copy flac/ogg/.. on a device (like iPod) which need transcoding. 
  4) You get the error message.
