Amarok and OpenSuSE 11.4

[Donn Washburn]

  Well I was hoping to find someone that has seen the same problem on 
their machine.  Or maybe a suggestion to offer on away to track the 
problem down.  I did track one down with openSuSE substituting xine-lib
but strace solve that one.  In my pass experience with git versions they 
have always worked with openSuSE.  Well if I find it I will let you 
folks know to save other headaches.

> You're using OpenSuse 11.4 which is a milestone released, an early testing release.   You're using Amarok Git which is work-in-progress, not published.  We're not trying to break Amarok on each commit we do, but it breaks from time to time.
