Hi list,
as Myriam repeatedly mentioned, we need to push a patch to packagers so that 
Amarok can be used with KDE 4.8. Some known Amarok developer (Bart, Ralf, 
Mark?) should probably send (a variant of) following message to kde-packager 
list. I've tested the 2.5.0 + attached patch personally with kdelibs 4.7.4 and 
4.8.0. (on Qt 4.8.0, that shouldn't matter)

Hi Amarok packagers,
there is a bug in Amarok 2.5.0 [1] when run on kdelibs >= 4.8.0 (no matter 
what kdelibs version Amarok was compiled against) which significantly degrades 
user experience. If you ship kdelibs 4.8.0 or plan to do so, please consider 
applying following patch to your Amarok 2.5.0 package which fixes the problem. 
The patch was also successfully tested to work with kdelibs 4.7.4.
