Flac + Amarok 1.4* seems to be broken [SOLVED]

[epsilon72]

...and possibly for Amarok 2 as well, if users in this thread are correct: http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=15135.0

For me, it skips the first 49 seconds of subsequent tracks almost all the time; for some of them, I can't even go back to the beginning of the track without the audio stopping and Amarok semi-crashing (this seems to happen with songs longer than 5 minutes)

My whole music collection is in flac, so it looks like I'll be using Aqualung for the time being

I've tried all of the 1.4* versions, and they all have this problem. This is with no crossfade, gaplass playback. In the thread mentioned above they were guessing that it might be a xine-lib problem.

What do you think?

My machine:
x86_64
Alsa kernel modules, from the 2.6.29 kernel (snd_oxygen, snd_seq, snd_pcm_oss)
1.0.18 alsa-utils
latest stable versions of flac and xine-lib
