Quick comment from a Mandriva user... you may want to just turn off alsa routing via pulseaudio - this did the trick for me.
Now Amarok pauses fast (though I think not as fast as xmms used to). I got the idea from reading this bugreport, so thanks for the discussion, it put me on the right track. -- amarok has large delay on play/pause when using pulseaudio/xine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Almost Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to amarok in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
