For debugging amarok see: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Debugging_%28documentation%29 Not that elegant though, piping the backtrace to a file would really be great.
Regarding the Qt bug, I created a mini patch to avoid this problem: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101966/ And about the Phonon backend. I use Xine because it's the only one that supports an equalizer. But it isn't pretty because Xine is causing glitches some times. Greetings Daniel Am Freitag, 15.
