User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090225 SUSE/3.1b3-2.1 Firefox/3.1b3pre
Today I've upgraded to KDE 4.2.1 for x86_64 from buildservice. As a result, Amarok 2.0.1 stopped playing mp3s. Clicking on the same track several times results in a "Too many errors encountered in playlist" message, and the ~/.xsession-errors file gets the following line for each click on a track:
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00
I've tried switching multimedia backends from xine to gstreamer and vice versa - no difference. Interestingly enough when I press "Test" in "Sound and Video configuration", the test sound is played just fine and all KDE notification sounds also work. Tried disabling pulseaudio via Yast2->Hardware->Sound, and restarted KDE - no difference in behaviour. Songbird (from http://www.getsongbird.com) has no problems playing mp3s under kde 4.2.1.
Also, Amarok used to play mp3's just fine via the xine backend before KDE 4.2.0 updates on 26/02/2008. After that update, it would only play mp3s via the gstreamer backend. Now it cannot play mp3's at all.
I've attached the output of alsa-info.sh.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Expected Results: Amarok 2.0.1 plays mp3s.

--- Comment #2 from Vadim Krevs vkrevs@yahoo.com 2009-03-05 04:09:34 MST --- Also, when Xine is used as the multimedia backend, then .xsession-errors contains the following:
QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00 kdeinit4: preparing to launch xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00 QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00 QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00 QString::arg: Argument missing: Amarok - No track playing., 0:00 klauncher(19157)/kio (KLauncher): SlavePool: No communication with slave.

--- Comment #4 from Vadim Krevs vkrevs@yahoo.com 2009-03-06 02:29:47 MST --- I've applied today's update of KDE 4.2.1 from buildservice, and amarok can play mp3's again without any config changes on my part. Please close this defect.
