Can you try out amarok-1.4.8, is it better/worse/same?
With amarok-1.4.8 it's the same. It could be caused by something else in the system. I removed pulse-audio.
I regularly get amarok crashing on start-up (it starts as part of my session). It *may* be related to my use of http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=52869 ... I've been religiously sending the backtraces to amarok when the mail window pops up, but I'm not sure it's doing any good. I'll attach my latest backtrace message in a second, just for kicks. This is with 1.4.8 on Fedora 8.
Created attachment 299596 [details] Amarok crash message
kirocker looks neat. Regardless, reporting crashes (with backtrace and as verbose details as possible) upstream to bugs.kde.org would likely yield better results, esp since I can't reproduce here... rock solid reliable for me, for better or worse. :)
The crashing stops for me with amarok-1.4.8.
