I has been reported and is already fixed in the phonon-backend-vlc:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296589

As already stated by Bart: this is a problem in the sound stack of
your installation, namely Phonon and Pulaseaudio, not in Amarok as
Amarok itself doesn't play any sound.

JFYI: the bugs database of KDE is searchable for anyone, you could
have done that quite easily, even google-ing would have shown you the
results in the first page :)
