Amarok keeps crashing

[Jan Tománek]

I uninstalled PulseAudio, stil having these bugs. This command "gdb --args
amarok --nofork 2>&1 | tee
amarok.gdb.txt" started gdb, not Amarok.

It seems I suffer mostly from these bugs -
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269227 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207382 both realted to tihs bug in Qt -
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18021. amarok crashedc like this
ages ago and now it is back. Is there any way to avoid these crashes? It's
really annoying to start Amarok after almostevery song. However, I
appreciate you work and really like Amarok. Just these bugs are really
annoying.

I also wanted to ask - which Phonon backend is the best to use? VLC, Xine or
Gstreamer? I use KDE, so I also use XIne, but I don't know which is "the
best" for Amarok.
