This is already reported here:

Could you please add your comment so we can set this bug to confirmed?

This works fine for me with both the Xine and the VLC backend, I was
listening to about 30 podcast episodes yesterday without a single
interruption. Unless you are hit by this bug:

See above. Could also be this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213706

All these are bugs in Phonon, not in Amarok as Amarok doesn't hadnle
sound itself. You really should write to the Phonon mailing list for
these issues. Subscribing the phonon-backend mailing list.

Also, I think bug reports are easier to handle in the bug tracker, as
commits can be linked to bugs directly.
