But it does go away if I change from amarok to xmms, so amarok is probably just not buffering quite enough. OTOH, xmms seems to be picky in other respects. During heavy disk IO, it'll gripe about my soundcard not being ready while switching songs, retry by poking the play button, and all is fine. Hohum. Anyway, seems I can't reproduce the really bad stuff here, so no can tinker with.
