--- Comment #2 from David Jarvie  ---
An error message is now displayed when something goes wrong with playing a
file. Because user visible (translatable) strings are frozen for KDE Gear 24.02
releases, the message if the audio format is unsupported has had to be set to
"file or data corrupt". This message will be improved to mention unsupported
format in the KDE Gear 24.05 release, when user visible strings are allowed to
be changed.

--- Comment #1 from David Jarvie  ---
The opus file format doesn't seem to be supported by the audio library which
KAlarm now uses (libcanberra). This library has replaced the use of Phonon by
KAlarm because the way that KAlarm needs to use it (multithreaded) made Phonon
unreliable and the source of quite a few bugs.

There should be an error message when an audio file can't be played - this
needs to be added.

The only solution for now for playing an opus file is to convert it to another
format for KAlarm to use.
