Amarok 2 Repeat/Shuffle problem

[Henry de Valence]

Amarok 2 crashes every time you click the 'shuffle songs' button or 
the 'repeat' button. Except it doesn't actually crash, it just freezes 
the GUI and continues playing the current song, and then stops when that's 
done. I think the behaviour of continuing the current song is because the 
actual playing is handled by a seperate library. Anyways, because it doesn't 
actually crash, you can't get a backtrace. So I try to load it in gdb, but it 
freezes just after giving a message about (start of line) [ 
amarok(12167)/phonon (xine backend) 
Phonon::Xine::XineEngine::checkAudioOutputs: 10000 "PulseAudio" "pulseaudio" 
() ] end of line; my email client (Kmail) breaks at 80 columns or whatever.
Note: I don't use PulseAudio. The message is output on a normal startup, too, 
along with all the other debug data, including it checking for various other 
outputs, it just doesn't freeze here normally.

However, if I click the close button of the windowmanager, it magically 
resumes, loads almost instantly, and pops up a notification about how it will 
keep running in the system tray. (except because I'm running it as a seperate 
user with ssh -X localhost, it doesn't.) But that's only an informational 
message, not a 'do you want to cancel' message, so it closes, and then I'm 
done, so I can't make reproduce the bug and see what happened.

This happens *every* time I click these buttons. Obviously right now Amarok 2 
is in a feature-adding stage, but if it's more than just me it's probably 
important. Otherwise it's just me doing something wrong.
