I'm using Xine. PA is installed as per default in Kubuntu 10.10. The problem 
arose when I upgraded to Amarok 2.4. BTW: The same happens when the next entry 
in the playlist is a non-downloaded podcast episode. Both plays normally when 
I double-click on them.

I started Amarok, Double-clicked on a podcast episode in the playlist, 
forwardet to close to the end of the episode. When the episode ended Amarok 
showed on the OSD that it started playing the radio stream which was the next 
in the playlist and the status bar showed that the stream was being played.
I waited 2-3 minutes.

Following is the output from amarok -d --nofork

dmesg reported nothing neither /var/log/syslog. Does PA have a separate log 
file?
