I found out that the culprit was a buggy patch applied to libpng in
Mandriva Cooker. A big thanks to everyone who looked into this problem,
especially to Alexandre Oliveira who noticed the fact that libpng was
involved in most of the crashes.

Only one crash left when playing mp3 files, and this one is because
libxine has not been build with external mad, so that's easy to solve too.
Other than that, amarok svn now works completely stable!
