Two things to try:

a) Amarok doesn't have a built-in option to set the sound buffer size, 
but KDE's sound system does. Use the KDE Control Center and increase 
the size of your audio buffer. K Button --> Personal Settings --> 
Sound/Multimedia --> Sound System.

b) Try another player, just to see if it still pauses. If it doesn't, 
the problem is probably with Amarok.

If neither of those works, the problem is lower level, possibly with 
Alsa. If that is the case, you'll need to do more investigation. But 
try (a) and (b) first to rule out that option.
