Hello,
I have some problems with Amarok since today.  I'm in Gentoo, and I'm using Amarok 1.4.8.

The problem arises when I try to play the podcast from (http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/wor ... mh/rss.xml) or listen to this radiostream (http://66.225.205.51:8000).  The podcast downloads, and the problem is when it tries to play it.  Amarok freezes and says "Could not launch mail client" ...

I started amarokapp from the console and this is what I get:

eliana@tutaina ~ $ amarokapp
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x794f00 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause"
QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout

Running: file `which amarokapp`
1.4.8 [___stripped][validity: 0.77][frames: 137][xine]


Just to add: yesterday I updated alsa lib, tools and utils; and downgraded it today (some issue with HDA intel sound cards).  The sound came back, but Amarok started to fail.  I reinstalled Amarok and also erased ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok
No success.

Any hint on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Eliana
