Hi all, I'm having some trouble using the Amarok music player. When i click the icon in applications, the splash screen shows up, then quickly disappears.
Running: amarok --debug in console gives me:

amarok: ************************************************** ************************************************** ********
amarok: ** DEBUGGING OUTPUT IS NOW ENABLED. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL ONLY SEE THE FULL OUTPUT ON THE NEXT START. **
amarok: ************************************************** ************************************************** ********
amarok: END__: static void App::handleCliArgs() - Took 0.00015s
amarok: END__: virtual int App::newInstance() - Took 0.0002s
[iain@iain ~]$ amarok: relocation error: /usr/lib64/libphonon.so.4: symbol pa_ext_device_manager_read, version PULSE_0 not defined in file libpulse.so.0 with link time reference

Can someone please help me with this error?
Thanks

You need to upgrade your pulseaudio library.

Sorry, I'm a noob, how do I do this?

I (think) I upgraded my pulseaudio library. I'm not 100% sure though. Here is the crash report when I try to run Amarok...

Please! Can someone help! I would be forever grateful!

You should maybe report this to Fedora. Also your backtrace is missing debugging symbols, you should install those first. See also

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... sh_reports

On how to get a valid backtrace.

I have Amarok with Fedora 12, and have not had any start-up problems, so I'd start by looking for lock files. There has been a problem, though, in that the xine backend was broken. The latest update to phonon that came out last evening has fixed it. Now all is well. You need phonon packages 4.3.80-5 if you have a sound problem.
