Comment 9 for bug 68187

I am getting this error as well, and I can reproduce it.

Here's how it went (if it helps any): Was watching some vid on youtube. I closed that tab in firefox, then about 5 seconds later used the global play/pause hotkey in Amarok to resume playback of whatever I was listening to the night before. Immediately got the 'xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers' error, at which point Amarok stopped playback. I opened the app, hit the play button. No error this time, it just freaked, quickly cycling through all the songs in the playlist (using the random songs dynamic playlist so this was an infinite loop). Amarok after about 10 songs stops updating it's ui and won't respond to requests to exit the app. Killall amarokapp works ;)

Now I can relaunch Amarok over and over and whenever it loads, I get that error, whenever I click play I get that error. It isn't freaking out with the playlist and crashing anymore. VLC gives no error, but anything I play is just silence, though the interface _thinks_ it is playing something.

I'm on Hardy by the way.. here are some version numbers and such:

amarok 2:1.4.8-0ubuntu1
amarok-xine 2:1.4.8-0ubuntu1
vlc 0.8.6.release.d-0ubuntu3
alsa-base 1.0.15-3ubuntu1
libxine1 1.1.8-3ubuntu2

Let me know if there's any useful information I could scrape from logs or elsewhere.
