Not sure but this looks like an issue with the phonon backend. What
backend have you got configured? try compiling another one and see if
you have the same issues.
A quick google brings up this, seems old though.

revdep-rebuilt may help you. And even if it doesn't, rebuild phonon.

Hi,
I remember to have accidently started amarok via ssh on my notebook (wrong
console window), with DISPLAY on my desktop. This seems to have scrapped
phonon-config and/or pulseaudio config on both systems.
After having removed these files (.pulse/ and
.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc) on both systems, amarok played my music as
expected.
Thanks to all who answered me.
Best Regards
Alex
