Although amarok is probably my favorite audio player, I have found it to be
a little finicky. I usually find it works best with xine. I usually use a
"-arts -gstreamer xine" so xine is the only engine available. I also usually
have a "-mysql -postgres" because it seems silly to me to have a database
running to listen to music. If you disable both of those, it just uses
sqlite. I have also use "-opengl" becase at one time (they probably have
fixed it by now, but I haven't checked) there was an issue with amarok,
opengl, and nvidia cards. I don't use/watch any of the visualizations anyway
so I have never seen the point. I make sure to add in "musicbrainz" since
that is a nice service. So to sum up, my use flags are generally: "-arts
-gstreamer xine -mysql -postgres -opengl musicbrainz" I know it isn't a
direct solution to your problem, I just thought I would share my
experiences.
