Thank you for the debug output, but what we would need is a backtrace.
Please do the following:

(install the package gdb if you not already have it)

gdb amarok
run -d --nofork

when it crashes, type

thread apply all bt

and only give us that part after that line

Also some more information about your distribution and KDE version
would be helpful.
