[Feedback] Amarok + 1.4

[Andrew Ash]

Egor,

I've actually seen this bug appear in some triaging work I do for Kubuntu's version of Amarok [1].  We didn't really figure much out but that it doesn't work like we 
thought it did.  Hopefully this one has an easy fix, since Samba shares are sort of a sore spot for Amarok.  There's a short description of the problem on the Amarok wiki 
[2], but its solution to create an /etc/fstab entry seems like working around the problem, not really fixing it.
