Maintainer has promised to upload a fixed version but no action yet. And despite such problems with xine 1.1.16, gstreamer is still worse choice. # aptitude install '~i ?source-package(xine-lib)'/testing > Secondly there's a problem with the indexing of my music collection.

Be it stable or not stable by upstream, but this amarok is in debian experimental :) Citing http://packages.debian.org/experimental/amarok: --- Experimental package Warning: This package is from the experimental distribution. That means it is likely unstable or buggy, and it may even cause data loss. Please be sure to consult the changelog and other possible documentation before using it. --- So it could be worse :) -- Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>
