Amarok keeps crashing

[Daniel Faust]

For debugging amarok see: 
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Debugging_%28documentation%29
Not that elegant though, piping the backtrace to a file would really be great.

Regarding the Qt bug, I created a mini patch to avoid this problem: 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101966/

And about the Phonon backend. I use Xine because it's the only one that 
supports an equalizer. But it isn't pretty because Xine is causing glitches 
some times.

Greetings
Daniel
