This looks good, and I see I already have it installed.

Alas, it does no work at all. The proceed button does nothing. Hm, when 
starting it again, it suddenly works. But whatever audio file I select, 
its file type is unknown to soundKonverter. The settings dialog shows no 
backends at all. Well, maybe an older version than 1.0.0_alpha1 works, I 
will give this a try.

Thanks,
