Try building with USE=-gstreamer

I came to conclusion this isn't amarok or xine problem. different boots with 
different results with no change between. this sound bug comes together with 
fast clock what i hadn't solve, but buggy sound is only amarok, xine or xmms 
plays nice. at leats fast clock i can sync with hardware.

  Hi,
 
  I emerged amarok, great gui to manage collection, but sound output is
  bumpy with xine engine. gstreamer apears not to work at all. I tried to

  directly in xine output is clear.
  What is your expierence, any sugestion where to look.

 My experience is that the xine engine is _by far_ the best sounding
 engine available in amarok.

 It might be interesting to diff
 ~/.kde3.5/share/apps/amarok/xine-config with ~/.xine/config,
 particularly for the alsa devices in use.  Actually, I think you can
 just copy the ~/.xine/config to the amarok directory to make sure you
 are using the same xine configuration for both.

  i have alsa on
  00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
  VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

 The exact model of the controller chip might be useful here.  From the
 .confs in /usr/share/alsa/cards, I gather that the 8233 and 8237 do
 hardware mixing, while the 8233A does not, and enables dmix/dsnoop by
 default.

 If you have the 8233 or 8237, I might try forcing the use of dmix by
 default in your ~/.asoundrc to see if it makes a difference:

 pcm.!default {
 type plug
 slave.pcm dmixer
 }
 pcm.dmixer {
 type dmix
 ipc_key 1024
 slave {
 pcm hw:0,0
 period_time 0
 period_size 1024
 buffer_size 4096
 rate 44100
 }
 bindings {
 0 0
 1 1
 }
 }
 ctl.dmixer {
 type hw
 card 0
 }

Thanks, great to know I was wasting time with wrong xine config file :)
however, just before your message i recompiled amarok without gstreamer suport 
and problem has gone, hope forever cause I'd like to keep this app.

Ah, I also build amarok without gstreamer support, so you may be on to
something there.
