Description:
Using amarok or juk with phonon-gstreamer backend from qt package: Every time you change tracks, it takes longer for the next one to start playing, to the point that after the 5th or 6th track change it doesn't start playing at all (in a reasonable time). Started happening after the 8/25/09 gstreamer updates.
No problems in Mandriva with the exact same configuration. No problem also with phonon-xine.

Additional info:
* package version(s): gstreamer 0.10.24


This task depends upon

I confirm this bug. The problem is not confined to amarok only. Seems that all the phonon backend is broken somehow. JuK also seems to have problems and in Kopete sounds that should be reproduced when a message arrives are reproduced several seconds later. Switching to xine backend solves the problems described

This is one of the bugs that should be reported upstream. But its not the clear whom to blame here. I guess it's Qt which ships the phonon-gstreamer backend.

Confirmed here also. I've worked around it by using XINE backend instead of gstreamer's.
