Ok... I've *finally* managed to figure out what's going on here... In the end, turned out to be a bug in GStreamer, and that *downgrading* to the previous version of the RPM fixed everything up for me. The bug in question turns out to be: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603496 which is also covered over on Gnome BZ as: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621566 After downgrading from: gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.23-1 to: gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.21-2 everything works *GREAT* again. FYI, the "0.10.21-2" version is the one that ships on the Fedora 13 ISO image; it shouldn't be hard to hunt down. After downgrading, all of my sound problems went away... stuff using Phonon as the back-end works like it shound, and Amarok plays song after song after song without a single stutter at all. Yay!
