MP3-support should be hidden when lame is not installed

Bug Description

Binary package hint: kaudiocreator

If you want to rip an audio-cd in Konquerors sidebar (F9) you get all the option (wav, ogg, mp3...), even when the codecs are missing. For example, if lame is not installed (default) you can still drag&and drop the virtual mp3-files. The copy dialog lasts forever, the user has no clue why nothing happens.

Solution: Hide MP3-ripping while lame is not installed.
Solution 2: Don't hide but open a dialog "Sorry, you don't have a MP3-encode installed"

This is still the behavior on Feisty.

Needs to be forwarded to KDE (http://bugs.kde.org) and I consider this a bug, not a wish, since it exposes the user to incorrect behaviour.

When lame is not installed neither the KCM will list MP3 nor will it show up in the slave. At least in anything KDE 4ish, it seems.

<Riddell> apachelogger: I confirm MP3 folder appears after I install lame

Closing bug as fix released.
