Already reported on bko. add your vote to confirm. seems like a mac
specific bug.

KDE issue (kdebase?). Also report to bko.

probably phonon or amarok bug. report and let the devs figure it out.

The bug tracker is for bugs. Just remember to add your OS to the
report after you've created it. even if you select it before the
report is submitted it won't get set.
I prefix any obviously OS X bugs w/ [OS X] for e.g.  OSD popup causing
a switch to the space Amarok was launched in (although this is a KDE
bug).
