Description:
Amarok 2.2.1 crashes within less than fifteen seconds of playing any song.

The problem may have something to do with the fact that the length of the songs are reported as 0:00.

Additional info:
amarok 2.2.1 on KDE 4.3.3, using phonon-xine backend

Steps to reproduce:
Start amarok, play any song. It should crash within fifteen seconds (the longest I was able to play any song was 14 seconds).
This task depends upon

The fix is to nuke the amarok directory (~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok). This fixes the crash issue. This might be an upstream bug and not a packaging bug. Please mark this as resolved if that is so.

(You might also notice that the update reverted any custom interface layout you were using to the amarok default layout.)
