a) Looking at the intel he provided it's by 99% a bug in
phonon/pulseaudio (... *sigh*) - this causes the Dr. Konqui failure as
well.
-> disable pulseaudio for phonon, uninstall pulseaudio, whatever to
momentarily prevent the crash.

b) open konsole, run: "gdb --args amarok --nofork 2>&1 | tee
amarok.gdb.txt", wait for the crash and then type "bt". Press enter
unless there're no more updates, then "quit". The trace is now dumped
into amarok.gdb.txt (in the current directoy)
