I can understand you questioning as to why a bug which has been reported some 12 months ago is still around. This is a matter of principle about why bugs aren't attended to and remain a bug after a year, and I agree with you.
I would like to know how to fix it on the main repo. So I would contribute to make it available. A few hands on is better approach. Afer all this is a community development, it belongs to all of us. And fixing anything is time consuming for any developer too (paid or not) BTW, I am not developer but I make efforts to recruit it. So, more contributors on these spots will speed up the patches and fixes.
But, to be honest, why would anyone bother with amarok when there are more superior applications available, for example vlc or xine?
Because Amarok works differently from VLC or Xine. And the last one is now broken. In matter of fact, it's not possible to make a detailed comparison between VLC and Amarok to put one of them on the side. Amarok is a specialized audio player with great features added ( not included on VLC ). If you prefer VLC for audio you could miss plenty info only available on Amarok. Do not misunderstand me. I love to use VLC and Banshee too. You should recognize what application serve you best for the purposes needed.
What *I* would be questioning is why amarok automatically installed? And why also automatically install kaffeine which does the same thing as amarok, as far as I am concerned? Waste of space and time.
Why not? After all, you could install what you want if you prefer another one (e.g. Clementine, MPlayer, Rythmbox, Banshee,..). Some basic applications to start your fun are needed. As far as I have installed KDE those programs come to show the KDE easier recognized apps (flagship) for multmedia. Time to time some bugs come to alive and we are able to report or fix them (it's not openSUSE the only one with these issues). If the community users prefer to show other applications instead should vote on openFATE.
