(amarok over > xine) Yeah, it does look like something's up with pulseaudio. I'm not really well-versed in troubleshooting it, but most of the time any problems I've had came from not having the right compatibility modules or plugins installed, I suspect because I upgraded. It wasn't in the list of packages you listed because it doesn't have "pulse" in its name, but do you have the "xine-libs-extras" package installed? There's a "xineplug_ao_out_pulseaudio.so" plugin in there. HTH, Nalin
