With the Phonon VLC backend, any application that uses Phonon
stutters. This renders the music unlistenable. The application doesn't
matter. When it does output sound though it sounds fine. It is likely
some form of a buffering issue. There is also a large delay in between
pressing stop and it actually stopping.

With the Phonon Xine backend, Amarok no longer advances between tracks
- forcing me to switch backend / application. For now, i'm using Juk
with Xine - which works perfectly.
