I'm experiencing the same issue. For me it occurs every time the song switches; not only when using amarok -r or amarok -f, but also when I push the previous/next buttons in the main Amarok window, when I use the corresponding commands from the Amarok menu, and when I use them from the tray icon's popup menu. It also happens when one song ends and the next begins, even without clicking any buttons.

Here is the diagnostic info from the help menu, in case it's useful:

(I do have PulseAudio installed and Amarok appears to be using it for playback; I'm not sure why it says "PulseAudio: no" in the diagnostic.)

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm seeing this behavior on Gentoo. Also, I'm using KDE 5 as my primary desktop environment, with Plasma 5.9.4, Frameworks 5.32.0, and Qt 5.7.1, although the installed version of kdelibs is 4.14.29.

I'm not the submitter, I left the second comment. I don't normally use Amarok anymore since it's no longer in the Gentoo package repository, but if I have a chance within the next couple weeks I'll try to install it directly from the source (https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok) and see if I can reproduce the issue. (I can't promise anything though.)
