+Gah I see you said you have that already :p
+
+Check to see if there is a k3b libmad plugin. It sounds like k3b creates
+a wrapper around the dynamic loading of libmad. Also you can try
+stracing the binary via e.g. strace -e open k3b --nofork to see what
+file open calls are tried, doing something more specific like;
+
+strace -e open k3b --nofork 2>&1 | grep mad
+
+might lead to some clues as to what needs fixed.
