Unfortunately, I still have this problem on a consistent basis. For example, when double-clicking one of SmoothJazz.com's 128k MP3 streams in my Amarok playlist, I often have to double-click it three times before it will play properly; the first two times it will display the slide-up error about not being able to find the input plugin.
