It might be that PulseAudio support in KDE 4.3 (used in Karmic) may not be 
good enough. KDE 4.4 (RC1 is available in ppa for Karmic), might bring better 
support for Pulse Audio.

You should start "kdebugdialog" and enable debugging level for digikam and 
phonon. Then start digikam from terminal window and collect debug messages at 
the time when you select video file.
