Since it seems that backports.org does not have a newer version of
amarok, I think your best option is to try

apt-get install amarok-xine=1.4.4-4

and hope that it works. (It might be necessary to log out of KDE or even
to restart KDM.)

Another thing: I would change the download.xs4all.nl entry in your
sources list from "stable" to "etch" to be consistent and to be safe
from accidentally getting Lenny packages on your system once Lenny is
released as the next "stable"..
