amarokapp crashed with SIGSEGV in xine_get_pos_length()

Binary package hint: amarok-xine

Xine and Amarok has started to act buggy. Upon every song switch, I get a dialogue about an error that Xine cannot initialize any sound drivers.

However, the music keeps playing and if I live with tens and eventually hundreds of these dialogue boxes (I move them away to desktop 4...) I can still listen to my music. 'tis mighty annoying however, and a very new behavior (since a 3 days back).

Rebooting doesn't help.

Clicking "ok" on any dialogue (god forbid) makes amarok go wild and rapidly step through every song in the playlist, marking them grey as goes by and eventually crashing (an btw on the way complaining that kmail is not available).

This report is done upon one of these crashes.
