[Bug 84774] Crackling sound during MP3 podcast playback in Amarok 1.4.5

[Rob_H]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok-xine

Since upgrading from Amarok 1.4.3 to 1.4.5, I hear a crackling sound
during playback of various MP3 podcasts. It starts about a minute or so
into playback, grows louder, and doesn't go away. Surprisingly, this
does not happen when playing back MP3s ripped from CDs. The only
difference I can think of is the bit rate.

I am using the Xine engine, and have tried various output plugins to no
avail. For what it's worth, I'm using an ATI IXP SB400 AC'97 integrated
audio controller on an HP laptop. The driver is just the default one
that ships with Kubuntu Edgy.
