Description Fela Maslen 2009-09-26 12:40:49 UTC
Version:           2.1.90 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-1-amd64

When amarok (2.2rc1 from debian/sid) changes songs automatically, the first second or so is destroyed. It's not 100% reproduceable though, it only happens in about 10-20% of cases, but when it does happen it destroys my music.

I'm wondering if the fact that it seems that I have no audio backend has anything to do with the problem. I must have an audio backend but it doesn't show up in the multimedia preferences in systemsettings.

It also happened in Amarok 1.4 on the same installation.

I don't understand, how can you have no audio backend? If you check in the systemsettings -> Multimedia, the second tab shows the backend and you should have xine there.

No, it's all blank. I do have phonon-backend-xine installed though. Also, when I installed phonon-backend-gstreamer 'gstreamer' came up in the backend list. I since uninstalled it.

That seems to be more phonon related then, reassigning.

FYI, Amarok doesn't handle sound itself, it let's phonon  do so. Please check also with your distribution, maybe the backend not showing in the tag is a packaging problem.

OK, I'm using Debian squeeze, I'll have a look for bugs with that. BTW the bug doesn't seem to happen anymore (although I'll never say never).

Ok, closing for now, feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this.
