Version:           1.3.7 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          4.0.2 same problem experienced from installing via ubuntu package and from compiling from source
OS:                Linux

I have followed the instructions here:
http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/MP3_on_Ubuntu_5.10

To allow my kde installation to play mp3's.   I'm using a kubuntu (5.10) installed on a dell latitude D600.  
I CAN play mp3s by typing this at the command line:
#artsd &
#artsplay song.mp3
or by typing:
#gst-launch filesrc location=song.mp3 ! spider ! audioscale ! audioconvert ! alsasink

However, when I start up amarok, its fine until I click play, then it crashes pretty much immediately. This is the output from gdb before and after it crashes:

BREAK [This is where I press play on Amarok]
