I had a problem with bitpim's python scripts crashing and not allowing convert
sound.
might add a specific dependency for ffmpeg ???
still have the problem (even with ffmpeg installed) of python crash if try to
use GUI to manipulate file start, length, etc.
Debian Lenny, bitpim 1.0.5
hope this helps improve the packages.

BitPim: *2* fixes for Debian Lenny convert sound bug - still a GUI issue in
editing length etc
FIX 1:
http://www.bitpim.org/help/
How do I bypass the Convert Audio File Dialog?
To bypass the Convert Audio File dialog, press and hold the Shift key and
click on the Add button (Shift+Add).

***** To do this, I suppose one must first convert the mp3 to appropriate
format with another program, as audacity!!! *****
--------------------------------------------------
until the python scripts problem in Lenny's bitpim is fixed ...
... my guess is the problem resides in
ringers.py and/or conversions.py

From exception dialog:
File "/usr/share/bitpim/code/conversions.py", line 60, in gethelperbinary
raise common.HelperBinaryNotFound(basename, basename+osext, [helperdir])
HelperBinaryNotFound: Helper binary ffmpeg.lbin not found. It should be in
one of /usr/share/bitpim/helpers
...
Frame gethelperbinary in /usr/share/bitpim/code/conversions.py at line 60
basename = 'ffmpeg'
f = '/usr/share/bitpim/helpers/ffmpeg.lbin'
--------------------------------------------------
FIX 2:
try installing ffmpeg, and deps ...
(ffmpeg is listed as as "suggested" install with bitpim)
**** voila !!!
now one can convert !!
! still a problem with subsequently cutting length of file by gui sliders,
though !!
... one still can use the boxes above to enter times, etc,
--------------------------------------------------
FIX NOT YET DONE:
