Well, it's my personal machine, not a buidd :-)

I install selected packages from experimental for the reason that such
breakages can be detected early and can be fixed before the package hits
unstable. Sure, if I encounter a breakage that is annoying enough I can
and do downgrade, but that is not the case here (everything else works
with the new ALSA just fine).

May try, if the configuration problem I discovered this morning does not
solve the issue.

amarok 1.3 worked just fine with gstreamer, and I heard no plan to
upload an 1.3 version without gstreamer support, so it is not interesting.

Again, I would have no intention to use xine if the 1.4beta package did
not drop gstreamer support. So whether an earlier amarok works with xine
or not is completely irrelevant for me, the _only_ interesting case is
1.4beta.
