I have been using amarok with gstreamer-engine for some time (it's great . Everything was perfect until beta2 (now I am using beta1 - works very well) - sound is terrible... and it behaves very strange, for example: on every intensive cpu use (even when I rise amarok window) it breaks. What is more, it is not let's say "smooth" all the time. I have never such problems with amarok+gstreamer... but I won't submit a bug report before I'm convinced that this is reproductable - so am I alone or not?

Amarok was compiled with: --without-arts --without-xine --without-opengl
Gstreamer 0.8.4, kernel 2.6.7-cko2 (I think that's the point... it's heavily patched against cpu latency but until now I have not had any problems), Debian SID.

There is a bug in gst-engine from beta2. Upgrade to a CVS-Snapshot, and use alsasink for gstreamer output.

Works great. Thanks a lot.
