I imagine this would be quite hard, although perhaps a bit easier with QT4.

How will you decode the stream if you bypass the engine, which is what I think 
you are saying.  ALSA does not have the ability by itslef to decode 
mp3/vorbis/etc., so somehow you have to provide for that, which is what 
gstreamer and xine do. You can either write your own, or use one that exists 
already, like gstreamer, xine or helix.

Why are you trying to do this?  To reduce the footprint of Amarok?
