Could you please make a bug report? We would need a backtrace to
analyse what is happening.

You can try changing the Phonon backend you are using, by now the vlc
backend and the gstreamer backend should work better than the xine
backend.

In any case, a crash with PulseAudio is more related to Phonon than to
Amarok, as Amarok is only using the underlying structure.
