Yep, unfortunately, since today, the svn build seems to dislike some tracks and skips them after a seconds or two.. it happens with almost every second track.
Is this know and dealt with or should I report a new bug?

Do you happen to use the "Now Playing" Plasma desktop widget?

If so, remove it. It's known to cause this kind of issue.

damn, should've used the search function first... sorry, it was of because this stupid and ugly applet running in the background causing the skipping!
Thanks and sorry!
