amarok crashes when scanning .ra files

[creepstarr]

Binary package hint: amarok

When amarok collection scanner encounters some .ra files, it goes tits up and the scanner crashes though amarok does not. I hate realaudio anyway so I will delete them but I thought that somebody would like to know.

I don't think an update to 1.4.5 will help much, this is more of a problem in xine.

Try installing the xine-ui package and running the file from the command line in the form `xine ~/Music/badfile.ra` Please post the output of that command and also whether or not the song plays. Thanks.
