Description of problem:
Using Xine or Amarok using the Xine backend, playback of the beginning (as much as fifteen seconds or so) of some songs is skipped.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.16.3

How reproducible:
Consistently


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin listening to a playlist in Amarok or Xine
2. The skips should become apparent after repeating some songs
  
Actual results:
The first few seconds of some songs is skipped

Expected results:
Songs play normally

Additional info:
I'm not sure if this is dependent on whether the song has been played before or not; but according to this url (http://bugs.xine-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225), a reboot fixes it temporarily.  Also, I've noticed that Amarok randomly (or so it seems) skips playlist entries. eg. It will play a few songs in the correct linear order, then skip one or two.  I'm not sure if these two bugs are related.
