of the same format/album after some minutes

-----

Detailed description:
I have different file formats in my music library (MP3, OGG Vorbis and FLAC). I 
have noticed that Amarok seems to stop playback after playing certain albums or 
tracks. I found out that this behaviour is triggerd during a transtition from 
one format to another. When I let Amarok continue to play, it does not stop 
playback, but you cannot hear anything and the status indicators don't change, 
after a few minutes it continues somewhere in the middle of the album (another 
track but the same format) at which beginning the playback stopped. 

I first noticed this behaviour in 12.04. I had no such issues with
10.10, which used the now deprecated xine backend.

Selected Phonon Backend: phonon-backend-gstreamer

Transition where playback stops:
Vorbis -> FLAC
FLAC -> Vorbis
FLAC (24bit/48kHz) -> FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz)
FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz) -> FLAC (24bit/48kHz) 

Transition where playback continues:
MP3 -> FLAC, Vorbis
FLAC, Vorbis -> MP3
