1.) testing = TESTING
If the only problem in testing right now is applications, that is a
good thing. During the squeeze testing cycle I was without adequate video
for 6 months and would have been for most of the cycle had I not held on to
old drivers for a year. And I had sound issues the lasted half of the cycle
too.
2.) Amarok 2 is under heavy development right now.
The version number may look high enough but the code is a complete rewrite.
3.) Amarok is from KDE, Banshee is the official Gnome music suite.
For Amarok, make sure all the KDE dependencies are installed.
4.) There are a lot of lib dependency upgrades between 2.3.1 and 2.4.1,
looks like most in fact.
5.) There is an amarok mailing list, amarok@kde.org, where the developers
themselves will respond to your queries directly, given time.
6.) I solved my problems trying to keep the latest version of Amarok by
installing from squeeze-backports. This might still work for wheezy and
there is a chance it will resolve the issue if it is dependency related.
