Phonon Backends
Amarok plays media via Phonon multimedia framework. You can choose either VLC, Xine (Debian stable only) or GStreamer Phonon backend. VLC backend 0.3.1 or later version is currently recommended (testing/unstable only) . In case of problems, try all backends to see which works best for you.
VLC
apt-get install phonon-backend-vlc
GStreamer
apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer
Xine (Debian stable only, deprecated in later versions)
apt-get install phonon-backend-xine
For more on Phonon, see the Phonon page.
