amaroK Visualization Issue Solved

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Hi,
In amarok player if u change the analyzer just by clicking on it a few
times ( i.e. cycle through it) - amarok crashes.
Amarok site says this bug was resolved (Mar 2004) suggesting to have
qt installed properly - http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75855
Second problem - not perfectly repeatble - but sometimes amarok starts
galloping - literally finishing a 3 min song in seconds - all by
itself - generally at change of song i.e after playing coolly for few
minutes.  In past couple of occassions it has played longer. I
generally restart amarok (not good) or change output option like xine
to gstreamer or v/v .
But somehow amarok - rocks.
Pl share ur experience. Thanks.
- Anil
