Yes, it is called "contributory infringement", but IANAL.

You solve the puzzle. ;) Amarok has a "xine" engine, which reported an
error, so you search for plugins or extensions to Xine. Another
release of Amarok might offer an alternative engine, e.g. GStreamer,
and its user would prefer using it with nonfree GStreamer plugins.

In general, it's a documentation problem. A few examples, and users
would understand what to install.
