Ah, yeah - forgot to mention that I'd gotten a hint about using the xine backend from a guy on the Debian-KDE list - it cured a bunch of problems for me. I think a lot of distros give you gstreamer backend by default, which is odd given the upstream problems are seemingly well known. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with alsa/jack/phonon (if I use jack, I have to start it early, and reconfig amarok away from alsa, but then I get pauses in audio playback - about 0.3s every 4s or so - and this is on a 2GB quad-core that's not doing a heck of a lot!) > The best tool of for doing that sort of thing that I can think of is > sonic visualizer. Looks great - and GPL too (I'm always initially dubious if apt-cache doesn't know about an application ;) Downloading it now - thanks for the pointer.
