Cool!  Well, not cool that you are having problems, but cool that I am
not alone.  I was beginning to wonder what was up.  I just did an emerge
-e world, and rebuilt my entire system thinking it may have been
something else causing the problem.  Still the same problem.

Previous versions work fine for me.

Since I never heard of anybody else having this problem, and I looked
through bugs.gentoo.org for others posting this problem, I figured it
was something special about my system.  I hate posting a bug report
until I have exhausted all attempts to fix it myself (especially if I am
the only one having the problem).

I looked for residual stuff left over from previous amarok and libvisual
builds, and didn't find anything.  I also found that libvisual-0.2 and
libvisual-0.4 coexist.  Thinking that libvisual-0.2 was conflicting, I 
removed libvisual-0.2 then rebuilt both libvisual-0.4 and amarok.  All
to no avail.

I will keep you posted of anything I determine.  Let me know if you file
a bug report as I can post my info as well to hopefully find what it is
about our systems causing this problem, or I can post a bug report.

Thanks,
Ken
